USA service more evident than in the company ’ s Maine Power Reliability Program .
John Carroll , Director of Corporate Communications for Iberdrola USA comments on the genesis of the project and the cmP ’ s history :
“ Central Maine Power was founded in Maine in the 1890 ’ s , and as it grew over the years , it became the state ’ s largest vertically integrated electric utility . In 2000 , the State of Maine restructured the industry , creating an unregulated generation industry and regulated
transmission and distribution utilities . Central Maine Power , from that point on , was just a T & D utility . About ten years ago we began evaluating the reliability of our bulk power system , which , at that point , was already thirty-five years old . We recognized that the system had not kept pace with growth , changes in population patterns , and increasing standards for reliability . We determined that the bulk power grid was in significant need of an upgrad to make sure that cmP could continue to provide reliable power ;
