Supply vs demand
EIA-860M generator inventory · projects pipeline
535 MW of new generation came online in Maine over the last 18 months; another 346 MW is in the EIA-860M pipeline (under construction or filed). Meanwhile 10 MW of data-center load is in construction or permitted in the state. Largest plant in the supply pipeline: Freedom Pine Solar (York County) — 250 MW of solar, first online 2029-01.
Two bars, one scale. Demand is sorted by certainty — under construction first, then permitted, then proposed. The dashed rule marks where the supply pipeline runs out; everything to the right of it is demand on file with no supply filed against it.
