Central Maine Power’s president and CEO will retire at the end of June. Doug Herling, who has been at the company for the past 36 years, has been the top official at the company since 2018 and started at CMP in 1985, according to the company. Herling is departing from the company amid a contentious legal battle between environmentalists and the company in federal court over its hydropower transmission project. The project, known as the New England Clean Energy Connect, has been granted a number of key permits, including from the Maine Public Utilities Commission, but is awaiting permits from others.
