Welcome to the Governor's Office of Energy Independence and Security

Governor's Office of Energy Independence and Security Facilitating Public and Private Partnerships

Our nation, region, and state have become dangerously dependent on unreliable, insecure, and expensive foreign oil and gas. Combustion of these fossil fuels causes climate change, damages the environment, threatens public health, undermines economic vitality, erodes national security, and diminishes our quality of life.

 

The Governor’s Office of Energy Independence and Security believes Maine needs to become energy independent in the next few decades. Our energy plan will establish the steps necessary to realize this goal, maximizing use of clean, reliable, and renewable energy resources while reducing greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change
