As Maine continues its push for clean energy, Republican lawmakers are urging a broader look at renewable options beyond solar and offshore wind — including hydropower and even nuclear. Several bills introduced this session aim to: ✅Expand eligibility for renewable energy incentives by lifting a 100MW cap ✅ Launch a new study on hydro and geothermal energy ✅ Adjust how existing hydropower qualifies for Maine’s Renewable Portfolio Standard Supporters say it's a smart move to improve affordability and reliability. But critics worry changes could dilute the value of Renewable Energy Credits, discouraging local investment.

U.S. electricity demand is on the rise after years of stagnation—bringing new challenges and opportunities. One emerging trend? Co-locating large energy users like data centers with existing power generation facilities, including hydropower. But this strategy raises complex regulatory questions. FERC is starting to take a closer look, especially at filings modifying Interconnection Service Agreements (ISAs). For hydropower facilities, staying informed is more important than ever. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eFMCEy24 #Hydropower #FERC #Colocation #EnergyTrends #RegulatoryUpdate
