Congressman Poliquins amendment clarifies that electric plants can be considered reliable without having to enter into supply contacts that are greater than one year. Congressman Poliquin released the following statement: I am very pleased my colleagues in the House supported my amendment to allow reliable and efficient energy producers to operate without arbitrary restraints from regulators, said Congressman Poliquin. Low-cost, carbon-neutral biomass technology is transforming our communities in Maine. As Americas wood basket, Maine is one of the primary producers of reliable biomass energy. My amendment will create jobs for Mainers by giving the biomass and wood products industries in our State regulatory certainty. It ensures that all power sources are able to compete on a fair playing fieldparticularly biomass energy, which typically only can get supply for 12 months in advanceby revising the standard for all fuels so as to not favor one over the other. It recognizes that some new and cleaner fuel sources, like biomass, are in more cyclical markets. In addition, this amendment will make affordable energy available for thousands by lifting burdensome regulations on clean and dependable American energy producers, specifically Maines quality biomass plants. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
