In 2019, the State of Maine set a target of installing 100,000 electric heat pumps by 2025 to end their dependency on fossil fuel heat. In July 2023, Maine surpassed that goal , and Governor Mills set a new target of having another 175,000 homes and businesses heated with electric heat pumps by 2027. Maine has embraced the federal climate initiatives focused on dramatically reducing our reliance on fossil fuels, improving energy efficiency, and reducing greenhouse gas while saving residents money on heating and cooling.
