LD725 - Clean Energy Job Quality

(2026)

An Act to Advance Equitable Energy Policy in Maine

LD725 bill text Maine AFL-CIO Supported

Sponsored by Representative Sophia Warren (D-Scarborough)

What is the bill?

Maine people spend a lot of money through the Efficiency Maine Trust to help improve energy efficiency in Maine. When expending taxpayer or ratepayer dollars, it’s important to ensure that we provide high quality jobs to the people doing the work that is so vital to helping Mainers cut their energy bills and fight climate change. This bill was amended to a study directing the Efficiency Maine Trust to evaluate the quality of jobs - measured by things like wages, retirement, benefits, training - created by energy efficiency projects funded through its programs.
