The Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) has prepared a ten-year Renewable Energy Goals Market Assessment. This study, as required by statute, provides important information and assesses the renewable energy market and its ability to meet the state’s clean energy requirements. This includes analysis and review of the opportunities, potential, and challenges facing the state in reaching Maine’s 80% RPS by 2030. The GEO has retained Energy & Environmental Economics (E3) and Applied Economics Clinic (AEC) to develop this assessment.
