Maine LD1966 enhances transparency and access to distributed generation resources by increasing disclosure of utility charges and improving net.

Maine LD1966 mandates the Public Utilities Commission to review and investigate administrative charges collected by public utilities with over 50,000 customers annually. If overcollections are found, the commission may order refunds to customers or future rate adjustments. The bill requires investor-owned transmission and distribution utilities to detail public policy charges on customer bills, including energy efficiency costs. It also mandates the commission to examine opt-in program designs to reduce net energy billing costs and report findings by March 31, 2026.
