CMP is owned by avangrid, whom I believe is a company based in Spain. As someone who lives in Maine, I can promise you that their services are lacking and they just raised prices 45% on supply side in January(ish) and are talking about a similar price increase in their delivery side coming up soon.
They are also doing everything they can to combat people installing solar. Alsoz the past few years people have seen 400% increases on their bills, and CMP suggested to the individuals that saw this spike to perhaps limit their consumption, and stuck people with the bills. 2 years later oops, turned out our new billing system wasn't working correctly, hence the insane bills some people were getting.
My friend had a $25 a month typical bill balloon to nearing $400, with nothing broken (ie hot water heater) and no change in usage. Many many people.
The license plate on one of my cars reads Agorist, and I'm honestly STILL learning towards the idea of the state run utility, because AT THE MINIMUM, the state has to deal with the situation they cause if they fuck it up royally.
Spain doesn't have to give a shit.
It's a really terrible company to have as your power company. (The linemen / crews are all super nice typically, it's the corporate side of it that's a nightmare).
