PORTLAND (WGME) — "About 1,800 Maine community solar subscribers won't receive the bill credits they expected this month after some solar project sponsors failed to pay a new state-required charge, the CBS13 I-Team has learned." …
ContinueDemocrats tell us all the time that the replacement of fossil fuel electrical generating plants with solar/wind/batteries will stabilize electricity prices and, in the long run, will lower electricity bills.I wish they would tell us how charging natural gas plants for carbon dioxide emissions is a good way to stabilize prices. The program that establishes these charges are designed to increase the penalty by annually lowering the emissions allowed, which, basically lowers…

ISO-NE reports reveal that the declarations by Maine Government and certain environmental groups that higher electric prices are a result of higher natural gas prices are not necessarily true.
Of course, winter natural gas prices go up due to inadequate pipeline capacity and competition from natural gas heatng.…

To the Maine PUC: Could you please explain why you arranged contracts with CMP and Versant to purchase power that raised electric bills by $65,996,299.00 from 2018 to 2025?
Under Maine law, utility companies cannot disconnect residential customers between Nov. 15 and April 15 to protect people from losing heat during the coldest months. Outside that period, however, customers who fall behind on payments can lose…

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
