PORTLAND PRESS HERALD • February 1, 2025

Central Maine Power Co. spent $24.5 million to clean up and restore power following three storms last year, the utility told Maine regulators Thursday in an initial estimate that does not calculate the impact on ratepayers. Each of the storms, on Oct. 12 and Nov. 28, knocked out power to more than 120,000 customers, the utility said in its filing to the state Public Utilities Commission. A storm on Dec. 11 caused 91,000 outages, it said. CMP serves about 635,000 customers.
