Maine poised to launch offshore wind program to meet clean energy goals, produce power for around 900K homes
Fox News
The state of Maine is expected to launch an offshore wind program that would produce enough power for around 900,000 homes and meet clean energy goals.
The bill was revised after a veto by Democratic Gov. Janet Mills to ensure non-union companies can get into the business, setting a path to approval by the Maine Senate and House on Tuesday.
Approval would put Maine on a path to catch up with other states that already have offshore wind projects. The catch, however, is that the wind turbines would be farther offshore than those projects, and would involve floating turbines. It also includes incentives aimed at ensuring wind power developers steer clear of lucrative lobster fishing grounds.
