In Maine, there have been years of public debate about the ownership of Central Maine Power, which once upon a time was a local company, rated one of the best-run utilities in the country. But alas, CMP now consistently ranks as one of the worst-performing utilities in the nation. The global energy giant Iberdrola has petitioned for a free pass from the Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC) in its bid to become the sole owner of Central Maine Power’s parent company, Avangrid. This should not be granted. ~ Sen. Rick Bennett
