Maine LD1458 revises compensation fees for renewable energy projects, setting fees based on undeveloped land value and limiting habitat.
Maine LD1458 modifies the compensation fee program for renewable energy projects, such as solar and wind energy developments. The bill mandates that the Department of Environmental Protection set compensation fees based on the average value of undeveloped land occupied by the project, with exceptions for certain areas. It also restricts the types of wildlife habitats the department can consider when determining adverse effects, focusing on specific habitats like deer wintering areas and seabird nesting islands.
