Requests for Proposals
Transmission Infrastructure Strategies
Reliable, affordable electricity depends on a strong, resilient transmission system that can connect new resources to meet growing demand. The Maine Energy Plan notes that doing so will require expanding the grid, upgrading existing lines, using new technologies, and adding connections for new resources. This year, the Maine Legislature enacted Resolves 2025, Chapter 57, directing the Governor's Energy Office (now DOER) to study Maine's transmission needs. As part of this work, DOER has issued two Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for consulting support: one focused on stakeholder engagement and facilitation, and the other on technical analysis. Responses are due October 20 (stakeholder engagement) and October 27 (technical consulting). Both RFPs and submission instructions are available to view here, search for RFP # 202509133.
Request for Applications
Funding Available for Innovative Offshore Wind Research
DOER has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) to advance research at the University of Maine's quarter-scale floating offshore wind demonstration project in Castine. The RFA, developed in response to research needs discussed and identified by the Maine Offshore Wind Research Consortium Advisory Board, will provide a unique in-water opportunity for small businesses to test innovative BlueTech and monitoring approaches at the site. A total of $380,000 is available to support this work. Applications are due no later than October 8, 2025. The RFA is available here by searching for #202507101.
