Wind power

Maine's Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday gave its approval to a major transmission line and wind power development in Aroostook County.

A massive windfarm proposed for Aroostook County got a boost last week from a Massachusetts state agency.

As the state's wind power trailblazer, Mars Hill exposed some of the regulatory and legal pitfalls that can result when 400-foot-tall wind turbines are built near homes.

In Maine, meanwhile, lawmakers are considering whether to charge some costs for this state's emerging offshore wind sector to electricity ratepayers.

In some cases, the developers are arguing that recent advancements in wind turbine technology have made newer models so efficient that older, less efficient turbines erected nearly a decade or more ago have lost much of their taxable value.
