The Maine Public Utilities Commission approved delivery rate decreases for Central Maine Power and Versant Power companies on Tuesday.
Utilities that operate in Maine must request permission of the commission to make rate changes, up or down, with evidence to back it up.
The new rates take effect July 1, with CMP dropping transmission prices by 5.5% (averaging $3.40 per month). Versant Power-Bangor Hydro district residential customers will see a 3.8% drop, and 3.5% for Versant Power-Maine Public District residential customers.
