MAINE MORNING STAR • May 22, 2025
While legislative committees are winding down their work for the session, the Legislature’s Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee has yet to decide what it will do with a slew of proposals aimed at reforming or outright eliminating the state’s clean energy credit program. Meanwhile, clean energy advocates, including representatives from the Natural Resources Council of Maine, Maine Youth for Climate Justice, Maine Conservation Voters, and Maine Community Power Cooperative, gathered at the State House Thursday morning asking lawmakers to reject any attempts at rolling back or making retroactive changes to the net energy billing program. Activists, solar customers and laborers also roamed the halls talking with lawmakers about continued support for solar energy.
