Maine’s biggest electricity reseller is under the gun in New York

Maine’s biggest electricity reseller is under the gun in New York

PORTLAND, Maine — The owner of Maine’s largest retail electricity company faces allegations in New York that its salespeople deceptively lured new customers into contracts.

The New York State Department of Public Service last month notified Electricity Maine owner Spark Energy that it is considering barring the company from enrolling new customers and, possibly, from doing business in the state altogether.

The regulators accused the company of “slamming,” or switching customers to Spark without clear consent. State law in New York and Maine requires providers ensure customers understand terms and conditions of an electricity contract before enrolling those customers.

why does this not surprise me? they are liars and deceivers from start to finish- they deceive with the gag agreements too where innocent victims get ill and cannot sell their homes even if they wanted to- and so much more- lies on birds and bats- so many false promises- financially and otherwise-

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
