As fishing interests geared up early Wednesday for a rally against offshore wind power development, the administration of Gov. Janet Mills introduced legislation to create a 10-year ban on new projects located in state waters.
The proposed moratorium would set aside state waters, which extend up to three miles from shore, for fishing and recreation. It would focus commercial-scale wind project development in federal waters of the Gulf of Maine, where the Mills administration has proposed a first-in-the-nation research array to study floating offshore wind technology. ....

Kennebunk Town Column: Maine fisherman plea for the public's support


Fishermen in the Kennebunks and throughout Maine are in the fight of their lives now and are asking for the public’s support.
Gov. Janet Mills’ LD 994 law required the Public Utilities Commission to approve an experimental offshore wind farm with Maine Aqua Ventus/Diamond Offshore Wind. The research array would be up to 16 square miles in prime fishing areas( ). Some see this as a step in the right direction for the environment; others, including many fishermen, fear it will do just the opposite.
Some fishermen voiced concerns during a recent series of webinars. According to Dustin Delano, another meeting was scheduled, yet cancelled last minute by Diamond Offshore CEO Chris Wissemann, who said he would not be speaking if “certain fishermen” were involved. ....

Batteries Will Store and Send Excess Power to Maine Households
950 lithium-ion batteries will not only store excess output from solar and wind power plants, they will also ensure the electric grid is more reliable. Lawmakers want to encourage more projects like this.

(TNS) Sometime in May, two 53-foot-long storage containers, each fitted with roughly 950 lithium-ion batteries, are scheduled to be trucked to an industrial park in Rumford, Maine.
The batteries for this $5 million project will be charged at night with cheaper electricity, when demand in New England is low. The next day, when homeowners turn on appliances and business ramps up, the region s grid operators in Massachusetts can remotely dispatch those batteries and send enough power flowing to run 4,000 or so homes for up to two hours. ....
