Renewables
With a flourishing renewables sector, Maine has set a goal to use 100% of Maine’s electricity from renewable power sources by 2040.
The transition to clean energy resources strengthens Maine’s economy by creating local job opportunities and reducing dependence on out-of-state fossil fuels. Cleaner forms of energy production and increased efficiency programs help Maine businesses stabilize and lower their energy bills. International and national supply chains offer abundant opportunity for renewable energy solutions being developed by businesses and world-class research institutions in Maine.
Maine people spend more than $4 billion to import fossil fuels annually

The Governor’s Energy Office released the Maine Offshore Wind Roadmap, a stakeholder-driven comprehensive plan that offers detailed strategies for Maine to realize economic, energy, and climate benefits from offshore wind, in conjunction with communities, fisheries, and wildlife of the Gulf of Maine.
Clean Transportation Roadmap
Reducing emissions from transportation, the source of more than half of all greenhouse gas emissions in Maine, is a key piece of Maine’s overall effort to curb state emissions by 45% by 2030.
