Removes the 100-megawatt limit on renewable energy sources in Maine.
This bill amends Maine law to eliminate the 100-megawatt limit on renewable energy sources, allowing larger facilities to qualify as renewable resources. It modifies the definition of renewable energy sources to include those exceeding 100 megawatts, provided they use specified technologies like fuel cells, tidal power, solar arrays, wind power, geothermal installations, hydroelectric generators, biomass generators, and anaerobic digestion of organic waste. This change aims to reduce electricity costs by expanding the scope of renewable energy projects eligible for certain benefits.
