Speak Up About Central Maine Powers Proposed Rate Increases

Speak up now or pay more later! Your Central Maine Power rates could double.

Central Maine Power wants to change the way it charges customers. The energy giant which delivers electricity to more than 500,000 Maine households is proposing a rate increase that AARP and the Office of the Public Advocate believe is unfair and unreasonable. Here are the facts:

Your fixed monthly charge would more than double in 2014. Central Maine Power would reap excessive profits. No promises of improved service.

This is a bad deal for you and for all CMP customers.
