Aligns Maine's long-range grid strategy with the state energy plan and strengthens integrated grid planning.
This bill mandates the Department of Energy Resources to develop a long-range grid plan every two years, aligning it with the state energy plan. The plan must include strategies for modernization, reliability, resilience, and climate adaptation. The Public Utilities Commission must adopt the plan and ensure electric utilities' rate cases and capital investment plans are consistent with it. The commission is also required to establish performance-based regulatory mechanisms to align utility incentives with the plan.
