Another investigation has been launched into Central Maine Power.

This time, the probe focuses on disconnect notices the utility sent out to customers. The Maine Public Utilities Commission is looking into the notices, which were sent to customers despite state rules requiring the company to obtain permission from the PUC before disconnecting residential customers for non-payment during the winter period, which runs from November 15th to April 15th.

The notices stated that service would be terminated if the customer doesn’t contact CMP:

“If you fail to contact us, we can disconnect your electric service during the winter months without the approval of the Maine Public Utilities Commission.”

PUC spokesman Harry Lanphear told our info partners at CBS 13 that the investigation was launched Thursday after they became aware of the issue.
