Who is your supplier? It will be listed on page 3 of your bill. Standard Offer or one of the competitors? Supply prices for all suppliers went up considerably in January and I bet that is the biggest factor. That is not CMP's fault, as CMP only delivers power; supply comes from another company and CMP does not get revenue from that; but they are required to bill on the supplier's behalf.

Additionally, have you looked at Energy Manager on your CMP account? You can compare your usage to prior years and see if it has gone up.

The last thing I want to do is defend CMP, but my bill doubled last month and it was entirely Electricity Maine’s supplier rate.

Please tell me you have switched to a less expensive option. Electricity Maine has been ripping off customers for years... Far worse than CMP.

I had no problem with them for years, until last month. I want to just switch to the standard offer and be done with it, but my wife is determined to try to get some kind of refund first. 🙄

If you have been with Electricity Maine for years, you have been getting ripped off. They started overcharging years ago. And it is not up to CMP to refund what you paid to a supplier. It is not CMP's fault that you signed up with a disreputable supplier.

Good luck with getting a refund. You might want to check with the MPUC's consumer assistance office or the Public Advocate. Not sure they can help but the more complaints logged against EM, the better.
