I know it’s been fashionable lately to bash Central Maine Power, but I have a little different take.

The other night it was a little breezy and about 1:30 a.m., we lost our power. Being on a somewhat remote service line, I expected the power to be out for some time. I called CMP at about 2 a.m. to report the outage, and a line truck showed up in about 20 minutes.

The technician found a small tree down on the line, which he removed with a chain saw; he then reset the breaker on the pole and we had our power back by 3 a.m.

By any standard, this is outstanding service. I’d like to express my appreciation to CMP for this excellent response.
