Inside Climate News interviewed Sharon Klein, associate professor of economics at the University of Maine, on Eastport’s efforts to become energy resilient and serve as a model of energy independence for remote communities. Klein said the success of the Eastport project still relies on a few unknowns, such as the balancing capabilities of the grid and integration of battery storage. “I do feel hopeful for Eastport, but I do think it is still feeling pretty experimental,” Klein said. The Boston Globe shared the report.
