Maine's electricity restructuring separated electricity supply from regulated delivery service. Large utilities remain responsible for the grid while licensed competitive electricity providers may offer supply to eligible customers.
Utilities own and maintain poles, wires, meters and local distribution infrastructure.
Eligible customers may choose a licensed competitive supplier for the commodity portion of the bill.
Customers who do not choose a competitive supplier receive utility-arranged Standard Offer supply where applicable.
What are the differences between Maine utilities and suppliers?
