Protest Against CMP's Rate Hike Proposal Grows
Mainers are protesting Central Maine Power's (CMP) proposal to raise residential electricity rates by an average of $420 per year.
The Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) has been considering the proposal, which has received mixed reactions across the state.
- Some call the rate hike unaffordable.
- Others support CMP's effort to modernize the power grid and create jobs.
Public comments submitted to the MPUC demonstrate a wide range of opinions from residents and organizations.
A grassroots coalition called 'Fight the Hike' has formed to protest the increased rate.
I #FightTheHike because fair rates are key to electrifying our future and cutting carbon.
