Augusta client asking about competitive supply alternatives to Central Maine Power. Maine allows choice but the market seems pretty limited. CMP standard offer is $0.087/kWh, competitive quotes around $0.079-$0.091/kWh. Anyone have Maine experience?

Central Maine Power competitive options - worth it?
Diana - Maine's competitive market is small but functional. The key is timing with the standard offer price changes every 6 months. If you can lock in competitive supply below the next standard offer price, there's real savings potential. Check Maine PUC website for upcoming rate changes.
Hannah's timing advice is crucial. I locked in a California client at $0.076/kWh just before CMP standard offer jumped to $0.095/kWh. Saved about $4,000 over 18 months. Maine competitive market works if you time it right.
