Energy Usage

What kinds of energy does Maine use? How much energy does Maine use? What activities are primary consumers of energy in Maine? How has energy consumption changed over time in Maine? These are important questions for which answers are reasonably easy to find. The best place to start is the US Energy Information Administration and its extensive webpages devoted to individual states.  

For more details, several Maine administrative entities compile and publish energy data for the state:

  • Governor’s Energy Office
  • Maine Climate Council
  • Efficiency Maine Trust
  • Department of Environmental Protection
  • Public Utilities Commission
