<p><span>People in the Central Maine Power service area in Maine are going to see a little cruise missile in their power bills this month. The electricity portion of our home's electric bill went from $.064494 per kilowatt hour to $.118161, an 83.2% increase. That's almost doubled, overnight.</span></p>

<p><span>If the price we paid through December 31st would have remained the same through the January portion of our billing period, we would have paid $58.68 for power. If the new rate would have been in effect for the entire billing period, we would have paid $107.53.</span></p>
<p><span>This is going to do serious damage to checking accounts over most of the state of Maine. Approximately $50 a month, or $600 a year, ...(MORE)...for power. Of course, during the warm months, folks with air conditioning are going to get clobbered.</span></p>
<p><span>Our total bill ($95.56 for "delivery" and $90.53 for "electricity") comes to $186.09. The cost of living in Maine is skyrocketing. Can Maine survive the Gold Coasters?</span></p>
<p>Maybe we should look at clean, plentiful, sustainable Canadian-generated hydro? Oh, wait.</p>Net Efficiency of Maine's Wind Farmstag:www.windtaskforce.org,2019-10-05:4401701:BlogPost:1754112019-10-05T19:42:28.000ZBob Stonehttps://www.windtaskforce.org/profile/BobStone
<p>I am interested in knowing the efficiency of Maine's installed wind farm industry.</p>
<p></p>
<p>On an annual basis:</p>
<p></p>
<p>Power generated</p>
<p>(less) Power consumed in operations</p>
<p>___________________________________</p>
<p>Net Power generated</p>
<p></p>
<p>Are these stats published?</p>
<p></p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
