PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • July 1, 2023
We urge our fellow legislators to protect Maine ratepayers by supporting the bipartisan amendment on L.D. 1347, An Act to Reduce the Cost of Net Energy Billing for Ratepayers. We want community and residential solar development by and for Maine residents. L.D. 1347 is a bipartisan compromise that ensures stable, fixed rates for the small-scale and residential projects net energy billing was originally designed to support. We cannot have a clean energy transition at the expense of Maine people and our most vulnerable populations, which is exactly what the current net energy billing program is asking us to do. ~ Rep. Sophie Warren (D- Scarborough) and Rep. Steve Foster (R-Dexter)
