Tress, debris and CMP are all problems, but the gas rate is high and your power is based off those prices. No one wants to cut back tree branches over the roadways which causes 2 issues, downed lines and poor road conditions. Maine is a poor hire state has been for a long time. The capable body's tend to leave for more pay and better conditions. Blame CMP all you want but the root is much deeper. Hydro out of Canada??? Biomass plants??? It's all there but people would rather overwhelm the system with 500 acres of farm/ forest field with solar arrays. Time to get a gen set if you can't handle the Maine conditions.
