The purpose of the Energy Assurance Plan is to provide the Governor, the Legislature, the Executive Departments, the energy industry and the general public with a clear, concise and comprehensive blueprint and strategy to address a potential or actual energy emergency caused by a supply disruption, a rapid and unsustainable increase in energy prices or other energy emergency situation. The OEIS created Maine’s first energy emergency plan in 2008 in response to Maine citizens’ increasing vulnerability to rapid price escalations, fossil fuel supply curtailments and infrastructure disruptions. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) provided states with an opportunity to revise the plan to build greater capacity and resiliency for energy assurance and emergency planning and response. The State of Maine Energy Assurance and Emergency Management Plan is designed to be a living document that will be presented to the U.S.
