And CMP/the State wont do shit about it.
When i tried to get solar, I was told CMP needs to upgrade their substation. Fine. Call CMP. They wont upgrade the substation unless I help pay the cost.
When that solar bill passed in 2018, commercial solar companies from New York and Massachusetts took as much land as they could, rushed as many permits as they could, and they took up the majority of the capacity.
It's great that we reduced our carbon footprint. But considering all the farmland that has been lost for 15% savings, compared to residents who will get 70-90% savings by hooking up to their roofs, we got a raw deal. I wish the State would do some legislation that caps the amount of commercial solar farms on a single transmission line before the substations inevitably get upgraded. But I doubt it.

Yeah, well, that's the maine solar industry's failure, not a conspiracy against maine, now isn't it?
