ISO-NE Reports:

Higher energy costs (2024 costs versus 2023 costs) were largely attributed to increased production costs and changes in the regional supply mix. Specifically, higher CO₂ emissions costs under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program and lower imports from Quebec were two key contributors. By

contrast, natural gas prices—the primary driver of electricity prices in New England—remained

relatively stable, averaging $3.06/MMBtu in 2024,…

Upon further examination, this lawsuit  filed by Community Solar hits people not subscribing to community solar as well as people who have subscribed into community solar.

They want the courts to decide that their money is more important than the money that belongs to the people of Maine.

They threaten their own subscribers to eliminate the 15% sign up savings. 

This is outrageous! Suing the citizens of Maine while removing the only reason some…

"The goal of the RFP is to upgrade the transmission system between northern Maine, where land-based wind generation is expected to increase, and more populous regions of southern New England, where demand for electricity is highest."     ISO-NE  November 21,2025

Two actions taken by the Democrats in Maine Government that means the 1200 megawatt wind project in Aroostook County will be rammed through and the people can do nothing to stop it.

1. In 2021 the mission statement for the PUC was amended to add the duty of "reducing greenhouse gas emissions to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction levels set forth in Title 38, section…

Efficiency Maine Trust (EMT) in cahoots with the Democrat ruled legislature and executive branches of Maine government have designed a path to destruction of Maine, one citizen at a time.

EMT's heat pump program commandeered the removal of an existing heating system with an enticement enabled by money all ratepayers pay through their monthly electric bills. This is nothing short of…

1200 Megawatts of 24/7/365 power. Is there a data center coming to Lewiston?

ISO-NE presents a study that shows how 50 cents per kilowatt hour electricity can be a reality by 2050 or sooner if states continue to pursue wind, solar and battery storage and neglect natural gas and nuclear.

The chart shows where New England wind, solar and storage is presently and what will be to be overbuilt to meet the demand in 2050.  …

Ponder on this latest chart from ISO-NE. This is the expected new generation entering the New England Fleet by year. Are you ready for electricity rationing?

Central Maine Power Company is looking for $455 million dollars over the next five years to improve their grid infrastructure, an average of $91 million dollars per year. Where the hell are they going to get the kind of money from an impoverished Maine?

Chair Lawrence, Chair Sachs and Fellow Energy Consumers of the EUT Committee,

As I was preparing testimony on LD 1949, An Act Regarding Energy Fairness, I became curious about a number of items:

If renewables are reducing electricity prices, why are there a record number of people enrolled in LIAP?

Is natural gas the reason for high electricity prices or the reason we have electricity?

If a renown solar company operating in…

"The average residential CMP Delivery amount includes about $15 per month in non-CMP

costs to support Maine public policy initiatives including net energy billing subsidies, low-income assistance and energy efficiency."

That message came with my electric bill. How much is too much to reduce greenhouse gases

from the atmosphere? As I listen to people telling of the dangers of carbon dioxide, and

how this substance must be eradicated from…

Don’t expect electricity prices to come down anytime soon in Maine, even with the federal government recission of wind and solar projects and subsidies.

Entrenched in Maine laws are two policies that will cause prices to spike as they are tied to an acceleration of wind, solar and battery installations.

RGGI, a never-ending carbon tax on natural gas-fired, coal and…

THE PUC HAS FORMULATED THE CHARGE TO BE APPLIED TO NET ENERGY BILLING PROJECTS BASED ON NAMEPLATE CAPACITY, NOT ACTUAL PRODUCTION.

THEREFORE, A 3000-KILOWATT NAMEPLATE CAPACITY NEB PROJECT WILL BE CHARGED $18,000 PER YEAR OR 0.4 CENTS PER KILOWATT-HOUR PRODUCTION!

How will the Democrat led Maine legislature compensate their favorite out of state solar and wind developers wishing to erect their junk in Maine now that the feds won't be funding them?  By strong- arming the PUC, of course, and it helps that the PUC is chaired by a Democrat, and another commissioner is a solar enthusiast with solar installations on her personal property.

Here is the Democrat's failed plan to solarize Maine with the help of out of state investment firms:
