In addition to the suggestions here, when you do call, ask them to confirm the meter number attached to your account. (Not sure if you recently had a new meter put in or any changes like that?) One time (albeit in a different state), the power company transposed two numbers on my meter during some update, and I started getting crazy bills. Took months to straighten that one out.

Not sure if someone else posted, but in the fine print of your bill is the number for the Public Utilities Commission. In 2019 I spoke at their hearings w/CMP lawyers present. I plan to again in the very near future. Possibly contacting your town's legislative representative.

This is why we have on the fall referendum the option to vote for Pine Tree Power, which is consumer owned. Madison Electric, Kennebunk, Boothbay Harbor and other towns have their own community based company. I have friends that live in those areas and swear their bills are lower and don't have the outages like the rest of us.

Yes. Kennebunk residents always speak highly of KL&P. I'll be voting for PTP.

I know more than one person who had CMP billing them for the wrong meter number and claimed to have fixed it only to not have fixed it.
