Are you a Maine resident or business owner looking to learn more about your electricity options? Do you wonder about how Maine’s electricity system works, and what that means for you? Come to our February forum to learn how it all works, what it means to residents and businesses, and options to get involved! Hear from experts about existing renewable energy programs Maine has and learn what works, what doesn’t, where they are, and what they cost. Find out success stories on how to act locally and affect change in your community.

$5 billion leaves Maine each year in the purchase of fossil fuels. This is a cost to Maine businesses, residents and communities. The health and environmental benefits of reduced fossil fuel uses are significant. With our focus on community-level tools to manage growth and change, GrowSmart Maine draws attention to the costs for Maine communities, and the resources available to those who live and work here to keep more of those dollars here, through energy efficiency and production of renewable energy.
