Democratic Gov. Janet Mills is seeking a temporary ban on the development of offshore wind in waters managed by the state.
On Wednesday, Mills introduced legislation – sponsored by Sen. Mark Lawrence, D-York, chairman of the Legislature’s Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee – that would impose a 10-year moratorium on new wind power projects in state waters.
