If there’s any weather, you will lose power. If there’s no weather, you may lose a leg of power, have a surge or flicker. No restoration estimates

Absolute worst company in history
CMP regularly just steals their customers' money by lying on their bills. They've been sued for this multiple times, and they keep doing it.
When they're not doing that, they're just hiking the rates for fun. Doing anything like solar through them is so much paperwork that it's like a part-time job. When their service fails, as it regularly does, there is zero compensation and the poor people answering their phones just say "they won't give you anything."
If there was a a way to give negative stars, I would do so.
I've never experienced a worse company in my life. If you have literally any other options for power companies, take them.
User's recommendation: Never, never, never use this company.

Awful company
I would if I had a choice but they are a MONOPOLY.
Power is lost any time there is weather. Theyre now owned by a foreign company who is only focused on squeezing out short term profits for their foreign shareholders. Maine residents have no other choice in areas served by CMP.
This monopoly on such an important part of our infrastructure is a serious national security risk. CMP has no interest in improving our grid and keeping electricity flowing reliably and economically to OUR citizens - because they dont live here!
- Good at cutting corners and being a foreign owned monopoly
- Unreliable power service rates rising astronomically
Preferred solution: Price reduction
User's recommendation: Go completely off grid as soon as you can.
Scam, question on card received in the mail
Preferred solution: An answer as to if the mail I got today for a 100 dollar gift card

Power went out unnecessarily
It's a sun-shiny day, and though the power went out twice, there was no reason for it. We had a rain and wind event the evening before and fully expected the power to go out, and it didn't, there is no reason to expect it now when there is no wind, blue sky and sun!
About 30 years ago, this was a company that could be relied upon to do their jobs and do them well.
However, I don't know what happened, but they have taken a nose dive; they can't keep the lights on under the best of conditions.
The meteorologists at the various television stations are always giving them a pass, or assuming everyone who has been through this time and time again is a mental defective and feel the need to advise people of the possibility of power outages.
Really? This is the 21st Century; step into it and act accordingly.
User's recommendation: There is no recommendation; they're the only game in town; maybe they shouldn't be.
