Attorney Adam Cote Represents Passamaquoddy Tribe in Solar Dispute Over EPA Grant Funding

Attorney Adam Cote was quoted in a Bangor Daily News story regarding a dispute over a rooftop solar development project in Indian Township. The project, funded by a $7.4 million federal grant, involves installing solar panels and battery backup systems on over 200 homes and buildings. However, the Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative raised concerns that the combined rooftop systems could exceed state regulations for solar arrays eligible for benefits under the net energy billing program. The Maine Public Utilities Commission is investigating the issue to clarify whether the individual rooftop systems are compliant with state rules. Cote emphasized the importance of resolving these legal matters, particularly regarding the reinstatement of the EPA grant, to ensure the project’s progress.
