Letter: Can Maine afford Pine Tree Power?

SUN JOURNAL • October 21, 2023

There are things I haven’t seen on Pine Tree Power commercials. First, Central Maine Power is building a billion-dollar transmission line. Is this going to be included in the takeover? Pine Tree Power will not be buying power generation, so will it include other supplier offers, or will we start getting two power bills? Will Pine Tree Power try to take over the power suppliers next? What is the payment on a $13.5 billion bond? If the state can float a $13.5 billion bond, will it reduce the state bond rating? ~ Jim Hodsdon, Lewiston
