flag Maine proposes solar plug-in systems to cut high electricity bills.

flag Maine households face some of the highest electricity rates in the U.S., paying nearly $140 monthly on average. flag A proposed bill, LD 1730, would allow residents to install up to 1,200 watts of plug-in solar systems for about $3,000, potentially cutting bills by up to $43 monthly. flag Inspired by Utah’s bipartisan solar law, similar legislation is under consideration in several states. flag Market projections suggest widespread adoption could reduce system costs to $600 within five years. flag The system can connect to an outdoor outlet and, with battery storage, power essential appliances during outages. flag A public hearing is set for January 6, 2026, with advocates urging citizens to contact their lawmakers.
