CMP fined $360,000 for transmission system testing violation

PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • June 8, 2021

Central Maine Power Co. has been fined $360,000 for violating industry testing standards meant to assure stability and prevent outages on its transmission system, based on a settlement approved last week by federal utility regulators. CMP said Tuesday that it had taken steps aimed at addressing the problems. The violations didn’t pose a substantial risk to the region’s bulk power system, but the $360,000 settlement did reflect a history of noncompliance with CMP and its parent company, Avangrid.
