Maine Energy Efficiency Obligation

In 2009, the government of Maine introduced an energy efficiency obligation for all sectors except transport, covering electricity and gas. Obligated parties include "Efficiency Maine". The obligation seeks to achieve 145 GWh per year in energy savings, requiring utility energy savings of 1.6% for electric and 0.2% for natural gas. No specific measures are given. The independent evaluation of ratepayer-funded energy efficiency programmes in Maine is required by statute (Title 35a Section 10104 subsection 10). Evaluations are administered by Efficiency Maine.
