Steev sutton 10 pilot pt rd Cape elizabeth Email ID: prfstvsttn@gmail.com Phone No.: 207-899-2013	2/19/2017	I am sick and tired of big utilities crying that their high carbon energy investments are being undermined by rooftop solar! The PUC now wants to TAX my solar energy that I generated on my own roof for my own use - energy that never enters the grid- this is iimmoral and illegal! Its time to get the government out of the utility biz!
Charlotte Coopersmith Maine Email ID: ccoopsmi@midcoast.com	12/25/2016	Two potential suggestions as alternative eliminating net metering. 1. Pay wholesale price instead of retail. 2. This one is more for CMP - Charge all people who are on the grid and have alternative source a flat rate toward line maintenance. Some reasonable. Thank you, Charlotte
Mark C Whiting 145 Gary Moore Road, Ellsworth, ME 04605 Email ID: mark.c.whiting@gmx.com Phone No.: 207-664-0928	11/11/2016	I am opposed to the elimination or modification of the net-metering provisions currently in place for home owners and businesses that make their own electrical power. Our state and our nation have committed ourselves to converting from a fossil fuel burning economy to a sustainable economy by 2050. This is necessary to save our planet from catastrophic climate change. This conversion is no trivial process, and it is enabled in-art by paying sustainable energy producers a fair price for the energy they produce. The Utilities Commission should be protecting this provision and promoting other sustainable energy programs. Polls show that a majority of the Maine public supports green energy.
Estelle Wellman 10 Peninsula Drive Bowdoinham, ME04008 Email ID:estellew@r-eassociates.com	11/9/2016	Over the past couple of weeks I have received several hundred copies of e-mails submitted by citizens of Maine objecting to the way Central Maine Power wants handle the solar metering that has been in effect for some time. These comments have been from individuals as well as from energy groups, companies, and even the American Lung Association.	image20870.pdf
Martha E. Gifford 264 Carl Bailey Road Bristol, Maine 04539 Email ID: mgifford1@mac.com Phone No.: (347) 218-3356	11/3/2016	1. The PUC should not use this rulemaking to eliminate net metering. There is far too little use of solar power in Maine now to determine fairly how net metering will ultimately affect the costs and optimum sources of electricity in the future. There should be further legislative work on a comprehensive solar energy policy that takes all environmental and economic factors into account. 2. PUC's own study provided substantial evidence of net benefits to all ratepayers. 3. Rulemaking that fails to take account of the larger, critical environmental issues, especially the need to reduce drastically the use of fossil fuels, is short-sighted and in even the near future will actually harm Maine's environment, people and economy. 4. Eliminating net metering, even over a period of years, will actually reduce employment growth. The solar industry is a proven growth industry in Maine. 5. There are far more opportunities for innovative community solar projects than are recognized by the current proposal. Also there is no valid reason to limit the number of participants in a community project. However, if net metering is phased out, an otherwise helpful policy on community projects will be undermined and ineffective. Thank you for considering my comments.
