CENTRAL MAINE • February 23, 2024
Maine needs a cohesive energy strategy. Instead, what we have feels like whiplash as individuals try to advance narrow concepts supporting single issues, or dream up the next big idea. We are faced with big challenges. and we must stay focused on working collaboratively. We have that opportunity with L.D. 1959 (the Governor’s Utility Accountability Bill), and rather than passing L.D. 2172 (Performance-Base Rate Design), a law that is duplicative, the legislature should allow PUC the time it needs to do its job. ~ Kimberly N.
