Central Maine Power Co. on Friday asked state regulators for approval to collect $228 million from ratepayers to cover the costs of restoring power and cleaning up after more than two dozen storms last year. Public Advocate Heather Sanborn said CMP’s request marks the third consecutive year the utility has had more than $100 million in storm costs and “demonstrates the urgent need for utilities to take comprehensive and cost-effective steps to reduce storm costs.”
