MAINE MORNING STAR • April 25, 2024
Maine initiated its next step in the process of procuring offshore wind by asking for public input to inform future planning. According to a news release Wednesday from the Governor’s Energy Office, the state issued a Request for Information (RFI) that will be open until June 21 for members of the public to comment on the state’s plan for offshore wind development. The document has more than a dozen questions the public can respond to about implementation, fishery protection, ports and more; however, it is not soliciting actual offshore wind project proposals at this time.
