Yeah, my standard offer rate for last month was $0.176310

You’re getting hosed.

You seriously believe that? So gullible and so willing to hate. Do you drink a lot?

They've been my supplier for at least 4yrs, so any promo has long since expired. And unless some letter was lost in the mail or accidentally thrown away, I was never notified this increase would be coming.

Yeah so change to standard offer then. Think they’re gonna be cheapest. Electricity maine prolly had you do a cheap rate for awhile to get you to sign up.

Correct, my supplier is Electricity Maine.

My bill has risen gradually over time as well, but never a jump like this. Like I said, this is not a result of higher usage or CMP upping the delivery fee, it's from Electricity Maine more than doubling the supply rate.

This shows my previous balance, which was 605KWH @ $0.1475, and my new rate:

Ah, you're right!

She's not my rep, so I had no they weren't the same man!

Thanks you for the insight I’m not a fan of the summer tourist season I try to get my hiking and whatnot early and later in the season to avoid the whole mess. I thought they provided a lot more to the town but it sounds like I was mistaken

I’m a local.

I’m not sure I’d call it thrive. Every year more and more houses get turned into AirBnBs and there are fewer and fewer families here. Non-tourism businesses like the Jackson laboratory and the MDI hospital now have to get into the real estate business so they can provide housing for new employees. The amount of tourists we have now is suffocating but certain business owners in town fight anything that might promote anything other than seasonal tourism.

I definitely don’t hate tourists. They make the town more interesting and vibrant in the summer. However, it’s gotten completely out of hand (and the rise of AirBnB and similar services that make single family homes profitable investments for short term tourist housing is really fucking over the town).

You went from their new customer 12 month promo rate to their rate that allows them to give new customers a 12 month deal. Somewhere along the line you probably agreed to the increase after 12 months.

Then there’s his golden retriever-sized (relatively speaking) blue ox, Babe…

Bug? Pester? Why do I think you weren't perfectly polite in that call? I know I just love when the general public tries to tell me how to do mine when they don't have a clue.

I’d like to say that I don’t have the qualifications but I bet do. Yikes.

I do have the standard officer.

In theory but fines disproportionately affect lower income folks.

Why is it your opinion that black people are dishonest and are incapable of understanding the implications of their answers?

Yeah nothing satisfying about watching the worst people in the world get triggered and cope and seethe when you call them out on their fake bullshit.

Apply for the job. Do better than them. I double dog dare ya. ;)

Maine is such a great place to raise a kid. Come home.

Real estate listings are a little tight, especially if you're looking for 10+ acres, but get online and have a look at what's available. Things are starting to loosen up a bit.

Also, remember that $200K is a whopping big salary for Maine.

You're really trolling hard. Why? What satisfaction do you get?

Ours was $495 the last time because of running a space heater upstairs almost constantly

Wow. You're extrapolating wildly. troll, much?

I’m assuming you picked standard rate. I think these huge jumps are people that picked specific suppliers.

Consider yourself lucky. Over the past 2 years we've seen a $100 price difference for the same habits in the same house. We're now close to $350/mo, decent size house for sure. But when we first moved in it varied between 200-250.

Lol when did expecting someone to do their job become harassment? High drama language😀
