Title 35-A: PUBLIC UTILITIES Part 1: PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION Chapter 1: ORGANIZATION, GENERAL POWERS AND DUTIES ?109. Conflicts of interest In addition to the limitations of Title 5, section 18, the following limitations apply to prevent conflicts of interest. [PL 1987, c. 141, Pt. A, ?6 (NEW).] 1. Public utilities. A member or employee of the commission may not: A. Have any official or professional connection or relation with any public utility or competitive electricity provider operating within this State. How can the Commissioners issue an order before the Examiners produce rate impacts with figures? Aren't these two statements contradictory? Mission "The Maine Public Utilities Commission regulates electric, gas, telephone and water utilities to ensure that Maine citizens have access to safe and reliable utility services at rates that are just and reasonable for ratepayers and utilities." from Maine PUC website ?101. Statement of purpose "The purpose of this Title is to ensure that there is a regulatory system for public utilities in the State and for other entities subject to this Title that is consistent with the public interest and with other requirements of law and to provide for reasonable licensing requirements for competitive electricity providers. The basic purpose of this regulatory system as it applies to public utilities subject to service regulation under this Title is to ensure safe, reasonable and adequate service, to assist in minimizing the cost of energy available to the State's consumers, to ensure that the rates of public utilities subject to rate regulation are just and reasonable to customers and public utilities and to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to meet the greenhouse gas emissions reduction levels set forth in Title 38, section 576?A. [PL 2021, c. 279, ?1 (AMD).]" Maine Statutes Is GHG creating a problem?
CLAYTON DAN MCKAY Ratepayer, Inc. 35 Bruce Tibbetts Drive, Dixfield, Maine 04224 Dixfield, Maine 04224 Email ID: mckaydan2@gmail.com Phone No.: 2074410479	4/12/2025	In the mid to late 1980s, the PUC approved several hundred megawatts of "Qualified Facility" contracts amounting to 30-40% of the utilities' load. Rates were based upon the planning assumptions and methodologies prevalent during those times. Oil was the majority fuel for electricity production. During this period, 1983-1986, oil prices were more than $30 per barrel and projected by most "experts" to reach $100 per barrel by the year 2000. Qualified Facilities were small, renewable fueled (biomass, refuse, and hydro) power plants, cogeneration facilities, and a multitude of DSM (Demand Side Management) programs. Since the supply cost of these alternative resources (QFs) was based upon the projections of expensive alternatives, including $50-$100 per barrel oil prices, the cost of electricity in Maine increased dramatically, about 50%. During 1993-1995, significant efforts were undertaken by electric utilities to reduce their cost structure, including the buyout of high-cost QF contracts. In many cases, the cost of just operating these QFs has exceeded the total cost of replacement power supply, which allows the utility to buy out the owners of such facilities and still achieve net savings. NEB is unaffordable to someone no matter how you cut the pie. The legislature was wrong in directing the PUC and the utilities embrace NEB. The obvious solution is similar to the same method used in 1993-1995. Drastically cut the compensation to NEB participation and leverage this to buy out contracts. Make 2025 the peak solar development year and steadily bring it to a halt.

Rep. Christopher Kessler Maine Legislature House District 121 (South Portland/Cape Elizabeth) 39 Stanley Street South Portland, ME 04106	2/25/2025	Dear Chairman Bartlett & Commissioners Gilbert & Scully, I wanted to reach out to express my support for the negotiated agreement in docket No. 2024-00137. As a policy maker who is in favor of beneficial electrification and a transition to renewable energy, I am also cognizant of the costs that this transition will have on all ratepayers and how those costs can act against the goals we are pursuing. I am most sensitive to the impact that our policies have on low-income residential ratepayers, and I believe that a shift from 9% to 10% is a modest and absorbable shift that would provide needed relief for large customers and a fairer distribution of stranded costs. Beyond that, I feel confident that the Legislature may take further action this session to stabilize those costs and make them stable into the future. Thank you for your hard work! Be well, Rep. Christopher Kessler House District 121 (South Portland/Cape Elizabeth) 39 Stanley Street South Portland, ME 04106
