Look on your bill. It breaks it down to your delivery service (CMP) and your Electricity Supplier. If you haven't selected a supplier, then you will have the standard offer--the rate for this has gone up 3 times in 3 years, as noted in the other post.
You may have switched to another supplier at some time in the past and forgot you did so. In that case, it would be worthwhile to do some research and see if it is worth it to switch to the "standard offer" or a different supplier. I switched to CN Brown in Nov 21 and locked in the rate of $0.1067 for two years. That was a good (lucky) decision on my part as that is what I am paying now. We'll see where things are come Nov of this year.

Reply to Biddeford City boxed in my car approximately 1.5 Hours After parking ban was lifted. by NoHate_95347
After trying all day to move car; breaking ice, using my floor mats and not accomplishing anything besides burning my rubber (tires & floormats seriously a lot of smoke), Biddeford came back. I heard him, ran downstairs and flagged him. Was around 3-3:30 today (Tuesday). I explained my situation, the operator grinned (did he block me in lol) and immediately cleared me out.
As much as I complained yesterday and today because I was literally STUCK IN ICE!!..The City of Biddeford is the best in plowing ( minus the one who blocked me in).
I mean look at Sanford and Portland.
Lived here most my life and I’m old. This is first time I complained about Biddeford.
TLDR: Biddeford removed the snow bank that one of their employees put in front of my car yesterday. Thank You Biddeford!

Reply to comment by dadoftwins04 in Powers out, generators broken, CMP is still assessing and I can’t have my coffee. How many are in same position. by dadoftwins04
Also you're supposed to take them out & run them for about 15-20 minutes every 2-3 months. And use fuel stabilizer and or ethanol free gas A.K.A (Recreational fuel - 90 octane) and you should be good.

I like how all the CMP defenders ignore the fact all the local electric co-ops haven't had their rates rise.

This is the level of detail and commitment that I crave in my TT games.

I know. Facebook sucks. So sorry for posting that link but small towns and orgs in Maine run off it.
Here's a link to other snowmobile clubs in the state. If you're going to another area, try one of them.
Also, the general store in the town you're going to will be able to help. Google to find it.

As someone who had to vacuum out a gross bag of moldy pellets that had been waterlogged, I completely agree with you on finding a dry spot to store.
It took hours to get all the gunk out and get it working again.
I made the mistake when we first moved in and I found a bag of pellets out back. Big mistake 🤣

The supply rate standard offer has almost tripled since 12/31/2021
2021 - 0.064494
2022 - 0.118161
2023 - 0.176310
The delivery rate also increased in the summer of 2021 and is scheduled to increase another 30%. We'll be at about 0.30/kWh by this summer when factoring in both delivery and supply charges.

I’m not an expert on energy but can we at least move the tree line back a little from the road? I see some branches over the road begging for a good storm.

Yeah the Raymond Rattlers only have a Facebook site and I don’t have Facebook. I can call them though

Contact the local snowmobile club and ask. It looks like Raymond Rattlers helped generate that map. They might know.
BTW, that looks like an old map (2005). Trails may have changed and/or closed. Definitely look into that before going out. Don't forget to donate to the club that clears the trails.

They even don’t live here and the properties basically exist as a giant tax dodge
