Central Maine Power Co. customers will see an average monthly increase of $2.50 on their electric bills starting in July to cover the cost of repairs from two back-to-back storms in October and November 2019.
CMP opted to spread the price increase over three years to reduce the severity of the changes to customer bills, the company said Thursday in a news release.
The Maine Public Utilities Commission authorized an annual adjustment of electric delivery prices for all CMP customers in Maine effective July 1, it said. When all components of the annual price adjustment are combined, the resulting change will add roughly $2.50 to the average residential customer's monthly bill, according to CMP.
