Maine faces energy crisis due to cold, high gas prices, and outdated grid, prompting calls for faster clean energy approvals.
Maine leaders are calling for urgent grid improvements amid record cold and soaring energy costs in early 2026, as natural gas prices hit a New England high, driving wholesale electricity to $441.8/MWh.
The state’s reliance on natural gas for 55% of peak electricity generation, combined with aging transmission lines and slow renewable project approvals, has worsened affordability, with retail prices up 55% since 2014.
Officials urge faster permitting, third-party oversight, and incentives for clean energy in high-demand areas to prevent investment loss and improve long-term reliability.
