New home energy coaching for Mainers

The law creates the Maine Home Energy Navigator and Coaching Resource Hub in the Department of Energy Resources. It supports local energy coaches who help residents compare efficiency and clean energy options. It focuses on low-income, rural, and other underserved households. The hub provides standard training and program materials that communities can use to run local coaching. The state provides a one-time $100,000 in FY 2026-27 to develop and maintain these materials, and the hub operates as funding is available.
