Central Maine Power

Ahead of every storm, CMP tracks forecasts, prestages crews, and then works to restore power to our customers as quickly and as safely as possible.

Today on National Lineworker Appreciation Day, we’re celebrating the crews who keep Maine powered. ⚡ Thank you to all CMP lineworkers—past and present—for your dedication, skill, and service in every season and every condition. Join us in showing them some appreciation!

@jzone90 Good afternoon! We are of course working to resolve these outages as soon as possible. The work logs do not indicate an exact cause right now, but it does indicate a problem on Readfield Rd in Winthrop. Multiple crews are on site working for a resolution.

@cmpco any idea the cause of the huge outage impacting Winthrop, Wayne, Readfield areas?

Step inside the battery and control rooms at the newly energized Westbrook Switching Station ⚡ Learn how this facility operates and how built-in backup systems keep power safe and reliable for our customers.

Here’s an inside look at our newly energized Rock Row Switching Station ⚡ The advanced GIS facility links transmission lines and boosts reliability. If a storm damages one line, smart tech can remotely shift customers to another—keeping power flowing.

Take a look inside our newly energized Rock Row smart grid facility in Westbrook ⚡ Our first fully enclosed switching station—built with prebuilt components—is already boosting reliability for thousands of customers in Westbrook & Portland. More behind-the-scenes soon!

We had a blast at the United Way Touch-a-Truck event at Central Maine Community College! 🚛✨ We loved showing off our bucket truck, giving tours, and even helping kids hop into the bucket for a view of how we help deliver safe, reliable power across Maine.

We are responding to an outage impacting customers in the Scarborough, South Portland and Cape Elizabeth areas due to an animal contact issue at a substation in Scarborough. Our crews are on scene to restore all customers as safely and quickly as possible.

@MrMaczapsv3 Our apologies -- there was an outage earlier today in Lewiston. Our records now indicate it was due to a motor-vehicle accident occurring on Sabattus St. and that it has since been resolved. Please advise if we may assist you further. To promptly report an outage, please call 1/2

@cmpco no power in Lewiston???

@cmpco any idea why the power in North anson is out?

Our crews are working safely and quickly to restore power after Monday’s storm brought rain and strong winds. We’ve restored service to more than 33,000 customers—82% of those affected—and won’t stop until all are back online. Please slow down for roadside crews.

Crews have restored power to customers impacted by today's outage in Portland and will remain onsite while additional repairs are made.
