CMP Overview

CMP crews are the reason Maine isn’t still a disaster area. Their hard work and time restored Maine’s power in an area of such destruction, that there were those who said it appeared as though a hurricane had hit. Over 110 crews and 150 trucks set out to battle the freezing temperatures and falling ice in an attempt to restore power to the people of Maine.
