The Maine Department of Energy Resources (DOER), the recently formed successor agency to the Governor’s Energy Office, released its updated winter 2025-2026 Heating Guide earlier this month. The updated guide includes practical home heating and weatherization tips for Maine residents who use all types of heating systems. It also links to several online resources, including the latest energy prices and information about how to access emergency heating assistance if needed. The guide also summarizes energy efficiency and home heating programs available through MaineHousing, Efficiency Maine, Community Action Agencies and other partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Track heating fuel prices<\/strong>
DOER maintains a heating fuel prices web page<\/a> to help consumers make informed energy decisions. The page features an interactive dashboard that compares the operating costs of different heating systems and fuels. Prices are updated each week during the heating season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Review electricity rates<\/strong>
View Maine electricity rates on the DOER electricity prices page<\/a>, or find information about competitive electricity providers through the Office of the Public Advocate<\/a> or Maine Public Utilities Commission<\/a>. Higher usage households may qualify for alternative rates from Central Maine Power (CMP) or Versant Power. Contact your utility for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
