In Denmark and the Netherlands, for example, their electricity is all publicly-owned. It's gone so well that in the Netherlands, there's a law against privatizing it.

from what i see googling this, the price per kilowatt hour is over double maine's rate in both countries. does this turn out to be cheaper through some other fees?

I'm not sure, to be honest. I think it's tough to compare energy rates because there are so many variables, like cost of energy source, etc.
Personally, I'm more interested in customer satisfaction- which we do know here in Maine, we don't have.

people are going to be really satisfied when they have to pay nearly 2.7x as much and then competition is made illegal by law lol
