Main Public Utilities Commission directed electric utilities Central Maine Power and Bangor Hydro Energy to share the contract in an 80-20 split.
“This is good news for ratepayers and renewable energy development in Maine,” says Sharon Reishus, chairwoman of the commission.
She notes that the contract makes it possible for ratepayers to gain energy supply cost benefits from a clean energy source, while First Wind gets financial assurance the contract provides to allow Rollins to become fully operational.
