Why we checked itSpecific magnitude claim (tripled) about energy costs under a named governor — verifiable against Maine energy price data
What we foundMaine energy bills rose significantly during the Mills administration but did not triple; the best-supported figures show roughly a 56–79% increase in residential electricity rates, with one component (electricity supply price) nearly tripling between 2021 and 2023 before partially receding.
