Mainers spent $132 million more on electricity than they needed to over 7 years

It’s because of a legal market for reselling electricity to residential customers that blossomed in 2012 and since 2014 has struggled to compete with the power Mainers get by default, called the standard offer. The rate from “competitive electricity providers,” can be pennies or fractions of a penny different.
