Governor Mills proposes elevating Maine's Energy Office to a Cabinet-level department for better energy management.

Governor Janet Mills proposes elevating Maine's Governor's Energy Office to a Cabinet-level department to better manage the state's energy infrastructure and supply issues, aiming to provide residents with affordable and reliable energy. The transition, which is budget-neutral and requires legislative approval, would make Maine's energy management more similar to 40 other states with Cabinet-level energy departments. The new department would handle energy policies, planning, resources, data, markets, security, and program implementation.
