Maine Public Service Receives High Marks in 2009 Reliability Performance Standards

Maine Public Service customers experienced fewer outages in 2009 than in recent years, exceeding most of the standards set by Maine regulators. Our customers consistently tell us that providing reliable power is important; and, in 2009 acheived high marks, however, we had more customer hours without power because of one major equipment outage.  Major investments in tree-trimming and other system upgrades continue to have a direct effect on improving and maintaining high system reliability standards. 

Each year Maine Public Service measures eight key service-quality areas to track how well we are performing in our services to customers.  Through customer satisfaction surveys, frequency and duration of power outages, and the amount of time it takes to respond to an emergency or answer a customer calls, MPS measures performance against a rating system of benchmarks.  In 2009, MPS achieved seven of eight key measurements.  See the attached Report Card for details.
