List of power stations in Maine

This is a list of electricity-generating power stations in the U.S. state of Maine, sorted by type and name. In 2019, Maine had a total summer capacity of 4,756 MW through all of its power plants, and a net generation of 10,491 GWh.[2] The corresponding electrical energy generation mix was 33.4% hydroelectric, 23.8% wind, 21.4% biomass, 17.1% natural gas, 0.7% coal, 0.3% petroleum, and 3.2% mixed fossil/biomass fuels. Small-scale solar, which includes customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 77 GWh of energy to the state's electrical grid. This was ten times greater than the amount generated by Maine's 0.1% share from utility-scale photovoltaic plants. [1]

During 2019, renewable sources generated 80% of all electrical energy from Maine, making it one of the top-five U.S. states. Maine's share of wind generation is the largest among New England states, and its share of biomass generation from the wood industry and municipal waste sources is the largest in the United States. Maine's electricity generation has not met the in-state demand in recent years, and about one-quarter of its electricity consumption was imported from Canada.[3]
