LD912

An Act to Limit the Amount of Electricity That May Be Provided to Data Centers on a Certain Commercial or Industrial Site

Complete·5/21/25

Maine LD912 limits electricity provided to data centers to 25% of total annual sales.

Maine LD912 enacts a cap on the amount of electricity that generation service providers can supply to data centers within the state. The cap is set at 25% of the total electricity sold by the provider to all customers in a calendar year. This restriction does not apply to providers supplying electricity behind the meter to data centers adjacent to the electricity generating facility. Providers must file quarterly reports with the Public Utilities Commission, detailing electricity sales to each data center and overall consumption. Violations of this cap are subject to administrative penalties.
