What is Maines Voluntary Renewable Resources Fund?
Maine’s Voluntary 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, trash-to-energy, fuel cells and geothermal energy. The Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) administers the fund and awards grants for various projects. It’s an innovative approach to providing power, creating jobs and protecting our environment!
