CMP Preparing for Winter Storm

Extra crews will staff service centers with icy conditions forecasted.

 

 

AUGUSTA, ME – December 28, 2025 – Central Maine Power (CMP), a subsidiary of Avangrid, is preparing for a storm expected to bring icy conditions and other mixed precipitation to a number of Maine communities overnight Sunday into the day on Monday. In particular, forecasted freezing rain is a concern with this storm.

 

CMP and its meteorologists have been monitoring the storm’s track since the end of last week. The company is also staffing extra crews at its service centers to respond to any outages that may occur. 

 

“We are grateful for all of the work our teams have put in through several impactful storms over the past week and a half,” said Linda Ball, President and CEO of CMP. “Through the holidays and every day, our customers depend on us around the clock to make sure electricity gets to their homes and businesses. This commitment is at the heart of our preparation for storms year-round and includes making investments in projects that improve the reliability of our infrastructure before a storm hits.”

 

CMP also encourages those on the roads overnight into Monday to drive safely as icy conditions may make travel conditions hazardous. Any drivers that see our crews working roadside are asked to use caution when passing and give crews plenty of space to complete their tasks safely.
