Maine created a new cabinet-level energy department to boost clean energy and grid reliability.
Maine has launched a new cabinet-level Department of Energy Resources, replacing the Governor’s Energy Office to strengthen energy planning and policy.
The move, announced on September 24, 2025, aligns Maine with 40 other states that have similar agencies.
Dan Burgess, current GEO director since 2019, will serve as acting commissioner pending senate confirmation.
The department will focus on advancing clean energy, improving grid reliability, supporting cost-effective solutions, and working toward 100% clean electricity within 15 years.
Expanded authority includes procuring clean energy sources with Public Utilities Commission approval.
Officials say the change enhances stability across administrations and supports Maine’s economic, environmental, and energy security goals.
