NextEra Energy concealed its identity as a large donor to Democrats in the days before the 2018 election and funded a group that should have registered as a political action committee in 2019 when it worked to oppose the construction of a transmission line project through western Maine, according to documents released by the Maine ethics commission Wednesday.
The documents released by the Maine ethics commission detail the energy company's funding of the Stop the Corridor group and how a Virginia consultant working for NextEra funneled money to the Maine Democratic Party.
