Pinetree Power: Promises vs Reality

To kick off the 2023–24 Season we are excited to welcome Verrill Partner Jim Cohen to discuss his work with Maine Affordable Energy, a ballot question committee formed to help educate Mainers about the risks associated with Pine Tree Power, Question 3 on the November ballot. Jim will cover the impacts of the referendum on electricity rates, the transition of the grid to combat climate change, and how this proposal compares to other government controlled utilities around the country. You will have the opportunity to ask questions about this critical issue that will dominate the political conversation in Maine this fall.

SCHEDULE:

7:00 AM EDT: Check-in and coffee
7:30 AM EDT: Buffet breakfast is opened
8:00 AM EDT: Doors close, program begins

Registration for this event includes breakfast, parking, and networking. FREE event parking is located in the parking garage adjacent to Hannaford Hall in the Abromson Center
