The department is instrumental in guiding the Maine Energy Plan, a strategic roadmap designed to advance the state's energy goals.

Key areas of focus encompass energy efficiency, aimed at reducing energy costs, greenhouse gas emissions, and fossil fuel reliance through the implementation of building codes, promotion of clean transportation, and administration of home energy rebates. The department also prioritizes increasing renewable energy generation across the state, actively supporting projects in solar, energy storage, and offshore wind.
