Maine utility regulators have closed an investigation into allegations raised in a lawsuit against the parent company of Central Maine Power. The Maine Public Utilities Commission ended its investigation this month after a lawsuit against Avangrid was withdrawn. No evidence was submitted in court to back claims that Avangrid bought unnecessary equipment so it could charge higher electricity rates and increase its profits, the PUC said.
