Maine Renewable Resources Fund


Maine's Renewable Resources Fund offers you the opportunity to contribute to the development of new renewable sources of energy. Your tax-deductible contribution is used to support our universities and communities in researching and developing new ways to produce electricity from renewable sources like wind, water, sun, wood, tides, fuel cells and geothermal energy. The Efficiency Maine Trust administers the fund and awards grants for various projects. Funding is also used for demonstration projects at non-profit organizations, municipalities, and schools and to promote rebates for cost-effective renewable energy technologies.

It’s an innovative approach to providing power, creating jobs and protecting the environment.

What does your donation offer you and your community?

  • Helps to develop promising new technologies which use renewable resources to generate electricity.
  • Invests in diverse energy sources to help maintain an adequate and reliable supply of electricity for the future.
  • Takes a step toward a cleaner, healthier environment for the people of Maine.
  • Increases Maine’s ability to attract federal or private funds.

How will your donation create clean energy for Maine?

Recently, newly funded projects include installation of PV and wind systems at Maine high schools, colleges and community centers. These projects will provide clean, renewable electricity for schools and communities.

How does the fund work?

Efficiency Maine distributes the money as rebates for cost-effective renewable energy technologies and as grants for projects that demonstrate the potential of electricity generation from renewable resources. Potential projects will benefit the community and educate the public by producing electricity through resources like solar, wind, hydro, tidal and biomass.

Twice a year, you’ll receive information about the fund and a chance to check off a voluntary contribution to be added to your energy bill each month. You can stop making the contribution at any time by calling us at the customer service number listed on your bill. Your contribution helps create jobs, provide power, and protect our environment.
