Energy Regulators To Investigate Whether CMP Treated Solar Developers Fairly

MAINE PUBLIC • April 7, 2021

State regulators are launching an investigation into how Central Maine Power responded to the implementation of new solar energy development in Maine. Developers say that when new legislative mandates for solar energy were introduced, CMP dropped the ball. The Public Utilities Commission says it wants to know why CMP this year significantly escalated earlier cost estimates for grid upgrades needed to accommodate the recent surge in mid-size "community solar" projects planned for Maine.
