The Maine Public Utilities Commission announced Monday that it will open a summary investigation into allegations raised in a lawsuit filed in federal court against Central Maine Power’s parent company. Commissioners said the purpose of the investigation is for the PUC to obtain information necessary to assess whether the alleged capital expenditure costs specified in the lawsuit against Avangrid are being recovered in CMP’s rates or may be included in future rates charged to Maine consumers. CMP has been given until Jan. 17 to provide commissioners with a report and supporting documentation.
