Maine is already considered the windmill capital of New England, but now Maine is considering whether not to add more windmills in their future. They are hoping to add 2 more wind turbine farms, which would generate 186 megawatts of power altogether. This amount of energy would power 70,000 average homes.
These projects were turned down last year because there was a lot of concern about building in sensitive wildlife areas and the cost of the development. The residents of Maine would really like to see the project happen, so the Land Use Regulation Commission will be revisiting the idea and looking at preliminary plans.
There is still opposition to the plans from groups that are worried about how the landscape will be changed and how the windmills will affect wildlife. They are working to find a solution that will make everyone happy.
Here at Windmills to Power Your Home we applaud Maine’s efforts to add more windmills to their grid.
