I understand what you're saying, but looking at pure population density isn't a good metric when a large percentage of Maine does not have electric service, or basically any people. I would be interested to see how the population density compares when you remove the areas of Maine that don't have service.

So it shows that CMP is better than emec/nhec/vec, but they don't include data for "major event days" (figure 4, page 6). Any links to data that includes major events?

Also this study is from an obviously biased source, it's an organization fighting against the idea of turning CMP into a public co-op. So it's not surprising that they're cherry picking data to make them look good compared other electric co-ops.
