CMP is asking for more money…again.
The company has filed a new proposal asking Maine regulators to approve a $189 million distribution rate increase.
CMP is trying to frame this as a small decrease in bills, but here’s what’s really happening: customers were already expected to see their bills go down by about $11 per month as prior storm-related costs rolled off. Instead, CMP wants to impose temporary $7 per month rates starting this July, keeping much of that expected relief for itself.
If CMP’s full proposal is approved, the average residential customer would pay about $18 more per month. That adds up to about $216 per year.
TAKE ACTION
Mainers are already paying too much. Add your name to tell the PUC to say NO to CMP’s rate hike.
