CENTRAL MAINE • February 13, 2024
The PUC is already evaluating utilities in areas many of us ratepayers care about — things like reliability, repair times, billing accuracy and responsiveness. We’ll learn soon enough how the utilities stack up because the PUC will be issuing its first report cards in a few months. A bill before the Maine Legislature’s Energy, Utilities and Technology Committee does nothing more than mess around with a wheel that’s already been invented. It makes sense to me that we first see how the wheel works before we go redesigning it. ~ Ray Hinckley, Manchester
