Maine’s GOP and their fossil fuel allies have been using misleading tactics to attack community solar. As chair of the Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee, I’ve witnessed the benefits of community solar firsthand and need to set the record straight: community solar is not the problem; it’s part of the solution. Some opponents claim the net energy billing (NEB) program is out of control and driving up costs. This is simply not true. We have reformed NEB three times in the last four years to ensure it remains fair, efficient and cost-effective for everyone. By participating in community solar, we are investing in our state’s future while saving money today. Don’t let misleading campaigns cloud the truth. ~ Rep. S. Paige Zeigler, Montville
