ABOUT THIS SERIES
Maine PowerOptions, a quasi-state program bringing together municipalities, school districts and state nonprofits to purchase electricity in bulk, lacks transparency and effective oversight, our newsroom’s investigation found.
This series raised questions about the group’s transparency, oversight and member benefits, and resulted in the Maine Legislature’s Government Oversight Committee launching a preliminary inquiry into Maine PowerOptions.
