    PINE TREE POWER
    Consumer-Owned Power Could Slash Your Electric Bill

    This could change everything.

    Maine residents will vote this November on whether to create the first statewide consumer-owned utility in the country.
    They're facing skyrocketing electricity bills and frequent power outages, while the corporate utilities (CMP and Versant) that dominate the state brought in $187 million in profit last year. Both the companies are owned by foreign entities.
    Residents are organizing to take power back into their own hands — literally. A ballot measure on the November ballot could create the consumer-owned utility non-profit Pine Tree Power, and put it under community control.

    We talked with residents about what this would mean for them.
