AARP Maine Presents: Understanding Your Electric Bill Workshop

AARP Maine continues to fight to keep utility rates fair and reasonable in the state with the country’s oldest population. Rising utility costs coupled with higher housing, food and medicine expenses force many vulnerable, older adults to make tough choices. However, electricity costs are a particular concern and have increased faster than the rate of inflation.

At this virtual workshop, staff members from your AARP Maine office will be joined by representatives from the Office of the Public Advocate and the local Maine utility (either Central Maine Power or Versant Power) to show the full story of electric rates and how they impact you.

AARP Maine will hold this workshop intended for Mainers who want to:

• Get a full breakdown of your electric bill directly from Central Maine Power and Versant Power (as indicated below).
  
• Find out about programs to help Mainers on low and fixed incomes.
  
• Hear about AARP Maine's work to advocate for fair and reasonable utility rates and get involved in our efforts in their own communities. 
  
• Hear from the Office of the Public Advocate on the work they do for electricity customers.
