Here is a chart that shows how Efficiency Maine Trust (EMT) advantages itself by way of an ISO-NE program to receive $110 million dollars. They select people and businesses to give ratepayer and taxpayer money to, which enables the grantee to obtain electric savings on certain energy saving devices. EMT takes these energy savings (whether they occur is never verified with the grantees) and reinterprets these savings as a demand response item to secure a good chunk of change from the ISO…

Would you like to see wind projects pay a portion of the net energy metering costs by the same criteria residential customers are paying, i.e. by an increase on the delivery service charge which is currently charged by the meter. That is to say that the current service charge per meter is the same charge for everyone who is enrolled in CMP's small residential class and the amount of monthly kilowatt hour electricity use has no impact on this service charge, it is a homogenous charge…

Whoa! the latest from the Governors Energy Office shows the cost of oil heat is nearly the same as air source heat pumps. Heat pump efficiency drops with dropping temperatures, oil burners, do not…

Six Maine power plants have passed an allowance ( aka carbon tax) amount of $236,056,455.15 paid by Maine ratepayers since RGGI began, and the price pain keeps going up. That's enough money to build a new gas plant or upgrade all six existing plants. All this money has gone to Efficiency Maine to lower energy usage which means you pay more for less energy. How and when does this perversion…

“Modern wind farms are reliable, safe, state-of-the-art power plants with well-tested technologies that meet approved standards and hundreds of thousands of hours of operating experience,” the U.S. Department of Energy states. Except when they fail under …

This is the truth that your government, media and so-called environmental groups won't tell you about the evil scheme to destroy our current, advanced energy structure based on energy density.

The numbers straight from Central Maine Power to the Maine Public Utilities Commission shows how severe Net Energy Billing and Long-Term Contracts are to electricity prices. The numbers reveal that CMP continues to pay out and needs to recover, year after year, an increasing amount to comply with "Green Laws" that the lawmakers said would reduce electricity prices.

The Maine legislature was getting tired of inflicting painful rate increases on electric customers with Net Energy Billing which continues to expand so much that the utilities, Central Maine Power and Versant will be forced to raise rates for the next twenty or more years. This is a self-generating scam because each annual rate hike adds to payments gifted to solar developers, thus compounding annually. A program that was supposed to be examined once solar capacity reached 10% of the…
