Governor's Wood-to-Energy Initiative

In his 2008 State of the State address, Governor Baldacci introduced his Wood-to-Energy Initiative. 
The Governor’s initiative seeks to reduce the state’s reliance on foreign oil and stimulate Maine’s economy by developing renewable sources of energy made in Maine, by Maine businesses, for Maine people.
The initiative will seek and capitalize on opportunities to:

• Convert public buildings to wood biomass heat;
• Encourage homeowners to switch from oil heat to heat from renewable energy sources; and,
• Promote Maine-grown alternative energy industries.

This site provides more information about the initiative.  Please visit this site often, as we will update it regularly.

The work of the Governor's Wood-to-Energy Task Force has concluded.
