That makes a lot more sense thank you.

The assets in the rate base are depreciated, so fair market value could be higher than that. Also we don't know what is and isnt included in rate base asset. Does it include their office buildings? Trucks? I honestly have no idea, but I'd imagine it's less than the total FMV of CMPs assets. The maine utility regulator might have a more detailed breakdown.
That said I doubt there's anything stopping CMP from inflating the number to 13.5bn in the commercial. So your answer is really it'll cost likely more than 2.7bn, but less than 13.5bn.

I thought he had retired on his own. There's not much online about him since he left. Looks like he was on a station called WYAR but that site hasn't been updated.
Reddit said he had legal troubles but I think the poster confused Mark Parenteau from WBCN with Mark Persky...

Nice try, Edible Arrangements owner. How in the heck did Edible Arrangements, of all things, survive the economic downturn of 2008? The pandemic? How is fruit cut into the shape of a star so insulated from market disruption? I don’t know what you all are trafficking or laundering, but I remain convinced this is some sort of front operation backed by big pineapple.

Weird, so according to this SEC filing their assets in Maine are assessed at 2.7 billion. I wonder how CMP rounds it up to 13.5 billion in all of their commercials.

This seems like a short sighted mind set. I for one would like to improve things for the generations to come. Maybe I will have to spend money now for something better in the future but I’m all for leaving things better than I found them.

I think you're confusing Rate Base with profit. There's a footnote defining Rate Base. It's not a revenue or profit figure.
"“Rate base” means the net assets upon which a utility can receive a specified return, based on the carrying value of such assets. The rate base is set by the relevant regulatory authority and typically represents the value of specified property, such as plants, facilities and other investments of the utility. These rate base values have been calculated using the best estimates as of December 31, 2022. "

I saw. It states the page 9 something about CMP rate of 2.6 billion but doesn’t anywhere as far as I could easily tell break down what of that is profit. Because again that be thousands of dollars per person every year

I remember the Mark and Mark Remarkable Morning Show, before the Captain. Mark Persky and Mark Mancell. I remember Jose Diaz.
I remember when they fired Mark Persky, and I started listening to WTOS because it pissed me off so much.

Nope, did you actually open the 10-K? they literally break it down into CMP dist, CMP trans, and Gas (not CMP).

That is the profits for AVANGRID as a whole again not CMP, I didn’t see anything that obviously broke down which one of their companies earned what. It is actually quite lacking and seems to not directly state

Reply to comment by Efi_befbi in Did not register my vehicle for 9 months due to not using it and i forgot about it? What will happen if I call to register my vehicle now that I need to use it? by Efi_befbi
I have a history of registering my vehicles up to several months late. The town or city clerk will not even question it. At 150 days expired, operating the vehicle becomes a criminal violation rather than a civil infraction. I’m fairly certain the practice, at least in Cumberland County, is to not arrest the driver solely for that offense anymore, and instead summons them to court. That’s more information than you wanted, but yeah, just register your car; you’ll be golden.

https://www.avangrid.com/investors/investors/secfilings. Totally agree; unless they are stating something incorrect on their regulated documents. 2755 in millions is billions yeah? (not sarcastic but serious) I doubled checked a bunch since it seems crazy. 1,120 for distribution, 1,520 for transporting, 82 for their gas arm. It states all are millions.

It’s a debt that will be owed by Pine Tree Power to pay back not our government. All Debts by pine tree power will have to be earned through the electric bill not hidden in some state, paycheck tax removed.

I don't think we would see the debt payback in our electric cost cause of the rate increase as you said. It will get hidden in some tax or something.

Cmp did not net 3 billion in profit. 3 billion divided by the 670k households is approximately 4.5k per house they have to pay. No idea where you got the idea CMP earns that
