1.7 million households will not turn heating on this winter, survey suggests
The poll found 52% of households fear being cold, while 28% say higher bills have made heating unaffordable.
- On Tuesday, the Maine Department of Marine Resources announced plans to conduct a winter research survey in the Gulf of Maine to study marine life near a proposed offshore wind development.
- Researchers aim to establish baseline data on fish and invertebrate populations to help scientists understand the effects of offshore wind development on marine ecosystems and commercial fishing.
- The 55-foot trawling vessel Northern Lights will depart from Portland to conduct approximately 37 sampling tows over nine days, with operations beginning the week of January 11, 2027.
- Officials stated they do not plan to ask fishermen to move gear during the survey, though the department will issue notices if fishing equipment interferes with research operations.
- The survey is scheduled to continue through February 28, 2027, with potential extensions into March depending on weather conditions, supporting Maine's broader study of offshore wind impacts.
