Gotta love Kennebunk Light & Power. I submitted an online report. Truck arrived in 20 minutes. Power back on within an hourindyaj t1_j1e5yo8 wrote

CMP is currently "Assessing" my power outage. It takes them a couple hours just to get here on a clear day when we're the only ones with an outage. So...

I live on a tiny dead end road with 6 houses. They don’t give a fuck. The entire town was back on and we went over 53 hours last week without power because CMP doesn’t give a shit about small roads.

One could argue they don't give a shit about the main roads either but I totally hear you.

I'm on a gravel back road with 4 houses. Only 2 full time residents, the other 2 don't live here except for hunting/fishing. The mail truck doesn't even come up here. Town of 400 or so. I lost power around 3:30, reported it immediately, was fixed by 7:30. It's not always that they don't care about small roads

Just lost power for 4 days from last weekend. Some people still aren't back from that.

I'm so sorry. Are you in western Maine? I was watching oxford county outages after the last storm. It took so long, too long, to get power back on. There has to be a better way.

We can vote in 2023 to replace CMP with a consumer owned power company. The required amount of signatures has been accepted by the state.

In Eliot this summer the power went out in the evening during a storm. Next day was beautiful and sunny. I got home from work in the evening and still no power. This was right off 236, not off down some dirt road. Everywhere else was already back online, but it took until the following day to restore power. It seemed so absurd considering how nice the weather was. I was just happy it wasn't on my girlfriends work from home days, cause she would have been very grumpy.

I live on a state route and get outages multiple times a week. Winter is usually my best time for continuous power. One week last spring/summer my power went out 6 times in one week. Twice in one day. Clear blue sky, no wind.

They'll be "assessing" it for as long as you and I stay alive, bub.

And they wonder why everyone hates them.
