Inside Climate News interviews Klein on Eastport renewable energy project
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.
