Maine’s clean energy economy is poised for robust growth and can be central to an economic recovery following the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Clean Energy Economy Transition Plan, a report released Monday by the administration of Gov. Janet Mills. Tuesday’s clean-energy economy report is a major component of the state’s far-reaching Climate Action Plan, a four-year blueprint aimed at blunting the impacts of climate change while building the foundations of a clean-energy economy. The director of a trade group made up of clean-tech companies said the report stressed to him the need to do three things at once: keep growing Maine’s clean-tech economy, recruit new engineers and electricians, and provide support for their training.
