Following the Pine Tree Power ballot question two years ago, and as directed by legislation enacted in 2023, the Maine Governor’s Energy Office (GEO) selected Strategen Consulting “to evaluate whether a Distribution System Operator (DSO) could be established in Maine to achieve cost savings for customers, improved system reliability, and accelerated achievement of the State’s climate goals.” 

Comments on the final draft of the DSO Study Part I were due to geo@maine.gov no later than 5:00 p.m. ET on December 5, 2024.
