WHY MAINE GREEN POWER?

Energy that Matches our Values

Maine Green Power is a voluntary program that provides Mainers with the option to support the growth of local renewable energy — creating local jobs, encouraging the use of clean energy technologies and preserving our state’s natural beauty. Sign up today.

When you join Maine Green Power, you’ll join a program committed to the values that reflect who we are as Mainers:

  • Sustainable: Make a difference by lowering your electricity-based carbon footprint.
  • Local: Support renewable energy sourced from Maine renewable projects.
  • Transparent: Enroll without contract or installation hassles. Cancel anytime.

Transparency

In order to keep the program affordable, Maine Green Power may also source RECs outside of Maine if the cost exceeds $9.00/REC. Although this market scenario is rare, we want to be transparent. See our full disclaimer below:

Disclaimer: If the weighted average price of Maine-located RECs is greater than $9.00/REC, then REC supply may be procured from NEPOOL-registered resources outside of Maine. If the weighted average price of program-eligible, NEPOOL-located RECs is greater than $9.00/REC, then, subject to MPUC approval, REC supply may be procured from any state that contains a portion of the PJM interconnect territory.
