maine power reliability program

Central Maine Power Company (CMP) created the Maine Power Reliability Program (MPRP) to comprehensively analyze the reliability of the company's bulk power transmission system to clearly identify future system needs and assure reliable and safe electricity delivery for Maine's homes and businesses.

The program developed and analyzed alternative solutions to cost-effectively maintain the reliability of the system for the future in accordance with national reliability standards, and to make appropriate investments in the company's transmission system in accordance with the Independent System Operator for New England's (ISO-NE) Regional System Planning requirements, approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

On July 1, 2008, Central Maine Power Company and Public Service Company of New Hampshire (PSNH) filed a request with the Maine Public Utilities Commission (MPUC) for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct the MPRP which will consist of approximately 350 miles of 345 kV and 115 kV transmission lines.  The publicly available documents filed by CMP and PSNH in the MPUC proceeding are available by clicking on the links below.  Filings submitted by other parties in the proceeding can be reviewed on the Virtual Case File on the MPUC Web site (Docket No. 2008-255).
