As the president of the Large Public Power Council and former CEO of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, I know firsthand the benefits that public power provides customers. In recent months, some have cited LIPA’s experience after buying an investor-owned utility as a scare tactic to say public power won’t work in Maine. Their information is misguided, outdated and not based on facts. The facts show the public power model which Pine Tree Power is seeking works – and puts customers first. ~ John Di Stasio, Large Public Power Council
