Maine needs more electricians to meet its climate goals. Training them will be a challenge
As more Maine residents install heat pumps and solar panels, the demand grows for licensed electricians. That's reflected in the climate plan of Gov. Janet Mills, which includes a goal of doubling the clean energy workforce from 14,500 workers to 30,000 workers by the end of the decade. But one major challenge in the push to build the state's clean energy workforce is how long it will take to train them all.
