There was a public hearing yesterday on LD 2174. The current language for the bill is, “An Act to Increase Predictability in the Permitting of Renewable Energy Development”
The bill fast tracks Department of Environmental Protection permits, sets very specific permit approval timelines, offers automatic permit approvals if deadlines aren’t met, and voids every single solar, wind, and energy storage development ordinance, and every high impact transmission line ordinance throughout the state of Maine.
