Gov. Janet Mills made an Earth Day visit to a renewable energy company in Montville to announce a new initiative to promote clean energy jobs. Revision Energy is the sort of business Gov. Mills says she wants to see more of. In 18 years, the solar power company has grown from two employees to nearly 300, in five offices across northern New England. Mills says she wants to create 30,000 clean energy jobs in Maine by 2030. “The Maine Clean Energy Innovation Challenge, which we’re announcing today, makes available $500,000 from the Maine Technology Institute to clean energy startups that will expand clean energy technology, create jobs and combat climate change,” she says.
