How Maine Deregulated Energy Works for Business
Maine restructured its electric market in 2000. Central Maine Power and Versant Power still deliver power, read meters, and maintain the grid. The generation supply charge is open to competition from licensed retail suppliers.
We start with a signed Letter of Authorization to pull your historical usage, audit your current bill for rate-class issues, and request bids from 30+ licensed suppliers. Each offer is normalized to a true cost per kWh, and you pick the fixed-rate term that fits your business. The supplier handles the switch with your utility, and the new rate appears on your next bill.
