More than 2,900 Maine small businesses may receive a one-time utility account credit funded through the Governor’s Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan to offset energy costs.
From Maine.gov:
Governor Janet Mills announced today that 2,919 Maine small businesses and nonprofit organizations will soon receive a one-time electric utility account credit of more than $2,000 to provide relief from increased energy costs. This relief is the product of legislation sponsored by Senate President Troy Jackson, D-Aroostook, and signed into law by Governor Mills.
The program, created by LD 2010, Resolve, to Help Certain Businesses with Electricity Costs offers tiered relief based on electricity usage, and aims to assist small businesses and nonprofits in Maine facing increased costs due to volatile global energy prices following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Funding for the credit is provided through the Governor’s Maine Jobs & Recovery Plan, through funds allocated by the Legislature for small business relief.
In September, qualified medium commercial customers of CMP and Versant were invited to apply to claim their credit. Eligible applicants can expect credits to be applied to their account by October 30.
