Central Maine Power Co. asked state regulators Friday to authorize a $162 million reimbursement – a near-record – for the costs of restoring power after three destructive storms last year. The money would be paid by ratepayers over two years. Regulators will decide “approximately” in April how much the utility may charge customers and will set a payment schedule and allocate rates for residential and business customers.
