Tens of thousands of Mainers are about to benefit greatly from the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. Gov. Mills and Sen. Angus King have led the effort to bring a robust clean energy economy to Maine and, with it, related economic and environmental benefits.

The legislation couldn't come at a better time. American families are enduring record inflation and the worsening effects of climate change, both of which disproportionately affect America’s most vulnerable communities. The act stabilizes energy costs and lowers electricity bills for American families and businesses, bringing much-needed relief as prices continue to increase.
