Central Maine Power bills to fall this summer

MAINE PUBLIC • June 9, 2026

Central Maine Power customers will see some relief in electric costs this summer after state utility regulators approved new distribution rates for the company. The new prices reflect CMP's revenue needs after the company paid more than a $100 million spent to recover from damaging winter storms in 2023 and 2024. They also reflect a slight reduction in costs for Efficiency Maine, which provides incentives for home insulation, electric heat pumps and other energy-saving measures. Households using an average of 550 kilowatt hours a month should save about $11.28 on their bills. The new prices go into effect July 1.
