Media Report on Increased Calls to Release Offshore Wind Plan Details

The Portland Press Herald and Bangor Daily News were among news organizations to report an increase in calls to the Public Utilities Commission to release details of the University of Maine’s offshore wind project proposal. The two chairmen of the committee that oversees energy issues in the Maine Legislature were the latest to publicly ask for details. The Bangor Daily News also published an article titled “Business consultant: LePage intervention in Statoil deal could damage Maine’s image in global energy” about Gov. Paul LePage’s administration working to derail Statoil’s agreement with the state for an offshore wind project, paving the way for the UMaine to submit a proposal.
