AUGUSTA - The Maine Public Utilities Commission on Monday issued a Request for Proposals for retail electricity standard offer service for medium and large commercial and industrial customers within the territories of Central Maine Power Co. and Bangor Hydro- Electric Co. for a six-month term beginning March 1, 2010. Initial proposals are due to the PUC by Dec. 16. Regulated by the PUC, CMP and Bangor Hydro are electric transmission and distribution utilities serving customers in southern, central and eastern Maine. Total electricity sales to their commercial and industrial customers in 2008 were approximately 5.7 million megawatt-hours, of which 25 to 30 percent currently receive standard offer service.
ELLSWORTH - The Maine Public Utilities Commission on Thursday unanimously approved a nearly $68 million Bangor Hydro-Electric project to construct and operate a 115,000-volt electric transmission line between Ellsworth and Harrington. We are all very pleased to have received permission from the Maine Public Utilities Commission today to develop this project, which represents a major infrastructure investment" for Down East Maine, Bangor Hydro spokeswoman Susan Faloon said in an e-mail. "This project will improve reliability of the electric system and strengthen the underlying electric system" in the Down East region.
ORRINGTON - A high-voltage electrical transmission line constructed by Bangor Hydro-Electric Co. that stretches from a substation in town to the Canadian border is finished and operational, company officials announced this week. The Northeast Reliability Interconnect, or NRI, is a new 345- kilovolt transmission line that runs between Orrington and Point Lepreau, New Brunswick, Canada.
Judicious and quick don't often go together, especially in state government. But Maine needs to be both as it considers its energy future. Other regions in the United States and Canada are working to develop alternative energy and get it to where the people are - primarily along the East Coast - so Maine must move quickly. That does not negate the need for careful review, and perhaps revision, of existing rules and standards to ensure that Maine gets the maximum benefits from such development. Earlier this year, Gov. John Baldacci proposed leasing state rights-of-way, such as those along state highways, to private businesses as corridors for natural gas, electricity, data transmission or oil. Irving Oil Ltd., which is headquartered in New Brunswick, wants such a corridor to move electri...
BLUE HILL - Downed power lines caused a power outage Thursday on the Blue Hill Peninsula. Although there were initial reports of an accident in the area, crews from Bangor Hydro-Electric Co. traced the cause of the outage to a splice system in the transmission line that serves the area.
ORRINGTON - By 2006, 345 kilovolts of electricity could be crackling through new power lines in wooded Down East Maine, carrying power to a potentially lucrative Canadian market. Friday, Bangor Hydro-Electric Co. announced its plans to build a new $90.4 million electricity transmission line through portions of Hancock, Penobscot and Washington counties, its most recent attempt in a decades-long effort to link the New England and Canadian power grids.
