@JoshuaBasseches Why would a T&D utility absorb all costs for state programs relating to electricity supply, over which they have no control? It's also completely incorrect to say that utilities don't pay for any aspects of public policy.

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

@JoshuaBasseches Hence the higher costs.

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

@JoshuaBasseches That is a wild oversimplification. There are countless examples of investor-owned utilities being required to execute public policy initiatives, maintain programs and meet requirements far beyond those mandated for rural cooperatives and munis.

@ScottStrom @WABI_TV5 When prices are first announced, names of winners are confidential. However, it's public now. For @versantpower, the energy providers actually are New Brunswick Power and Constellation: https://t.co/yw0nSk4Pdi

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

@Mainebiz This is definitely incorrect. @cmpco does not have hundreds of thousands of outages.

[ISO New England @isonewengland]

2024 already far outpaces previous years when it comes to days where demand for electricity from the power grid was lower at midday than overnight. Learn more about this phenomenon caused by the growth of solar power. https://t.co/E3hUtwr5Xj

Work at our new Bradley Switching Station is underway!

Thousands of customers in about twenty towns from Orono to Lowell will soon be connected to a resilient backup power source that detects outages sooner and limits the number of people affected.

Backstop in the building.

@cleantechfacts Maine already has rules that prohibit utilities from using customer money for promotional or political spending, "hidden" or otherwise. See Chapter 83: https://t.co/6pEuouXXp5

Take a trip down memory lane with us with our new Then & Now series.

The 1st pic showcases a Bangor Hydro-Electric Company truck from the 1920s. The 2nd one showcases a bucket truck we use today. #versantpower100years #TBT

It's Lineworker Appreciation Day!

Thank you to our lineworkers for their commitment to safely maintaining our system and going above and beyond to keep the power going in all hours and all weather conditions.

We are all proud of the work they do every day! #ThankALineworker

Always assume fallen power lines are energized. Stay at least ten feet away from a downed power line and any nearby objects it may be touching, such as a fence or a tree limb. #TipTuesday

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

@JoshuaBasseches But what about opposition by @NRECA? https://t.co/Nj3z0sWpVG

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

@SolarAccess Huh? The report specifically says that Maine net energy billing costs are millions of dollars greater than the benefits for Maine ratepayers. #mepolitics

The @EasternAging Healthy Aging Expo is this Thursday, May 16, from 10am to 2pm at Anah Shriners in Bangor. This event will be filled with valuable resources, expert insights, and empowering experiences. We will be there, don't forget to stop by our table!

[Judy Long @JudyofLongHill]

Congrats to my @versantpower teammates for safely interconnecting these resources to the distribution system. 👷 💡 🌞

The northernmost part of Maine reached a milestone this month: 100% of the district's electricity needs were met by #solar energy. https://t.co/VoQGVJqXgP #energytwitter #EnergyTransition #mepolitics

We're preparing for a storm expected to bring heavy snow and high winds to our service territory on Thursday.

We've arranged for additional crews to join our team to help. Here's how you can get ready too:
