PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • December 24, 2024
The Governor’s Energy Office recommended in a new report Monday that the state Public Utilities Commission establish programs that would add 200 megawatts to be built by developers. The PUC is reviewing the report and has not yet begun soliciting public comment. To pay for new storage projects a customer of Central Maine Power should expect to pay an average $5.90 a month more in the first year the program is in effect; the bill would decrease $3.41 a month in the following year.
