PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 23, 2021
Maine has shown leadership on decarbonization by passing legislation that encourages the development of solar and other distributed energy generation projects to produce more clean energy, and to do it at a pace unmatched by any other state. As part of a company that leads the way in renewables development, CMP is committed to doing our part to decarbonize energy production in our state. We have actively participated in the work of Maine’s Climate Council and supported the passage of the legislation that speeds solar development. CMP has mobilized over 100 professionals to interconnect the more than 600 large new distributed generation projects in queue, which will provide about 2,000 megawatts. It is CMP’s obligation to ensure that we bring these new projects onto the grid safely. ~ David Flanagan, executive chairman, Central Maine Power
