flag Maine solar firms sue PUC over new fees, claiming constitutional violations and investment harm.

flag Eleven Maine community solar companies sued the Public Utilities Commission over new rules that impose monthly fees on projects based on size, starting in January. flag They claim the fees violate constitutional protections by devaluing their investments and retroactively altering contracts, potentially undermining investor confidence and deterring future clean energy projects. flag The plaintiffs seek a preliminary injunction to halt the rules, arguing they harm existing agreements and threaten billions in investments and consumer savings. flag The commission said it recently received the lawsuit and is reviewing it, while the law aims to save ratepayers over $230 million annually by reducing solar subsidies.
