Sep/00: Statistics from the Maine Public Service Commission (PSC) show that 26% of all electricity delivered by the State's three major utilities is being purchased from alternative suppliers. However, industrial customers are purchasing the bulk of that load. In contrast, 6% of residential and small commercial customers have switched providers, bringing the total number of residential and small commercial customers served by competitive providers to about 1,500 customers.
Jan/99: Maine consumers will begin seeing itemized bills in January 1999 that separate the costs of power generation from delivery. The restructuring law requires unbundled billing by 1/1/99.
