“I write to express my strong support for L.D. 1646, a legislative bill to replace Central Maine Power and Emera with a consumer-owned utility (Maine Power Delivery Authority). There are so many reasons Mainers are unhappy with CMP and Emera. They charge some of the highest rates and have the lowest reliability rating in the country. Recently a business owner from Sanford reported that he was charged over $11,000 by CMP for just one day of power to run his company. When he challenged that bill, CMP admitted that the actual cost was $36. Many others are still fighting to fix their bills.
