The Kennebunk community is incredibly lucky to have the dedicated service provided by KLP. Bills were always low, it was reliable, and response times were good. I appreciate the line workers at CMP, but the reliability is garbage.

Boy, are we.

The rates are half of what CMP customers pay as well.

Half? Assume you mean delivery charge, not supply right?

Nope. Supply as well I think.

Yea - Im wondering why their supply rate is so low ($.06/kwH) - it looks like all the small orgs that negotiate their own supply pay half as much as CMP & Versa - and it's the state that sets their supply rate. Maybe the utility-owned interest in the solar farm?

If CMP could buy power that cheap, it would be $.16 vs $.13 per kwH, still better but much closer.

My favorite part is if the power goes out, it comes back on that day.

CMP May suck at a lot of things, but their SAIDI scores are favorable compared to other rural utilities in heavily forested areas.
