One thing you bet is not considered or thought about is how many departments are consolidated into one group say at their headquarters.

You can bet CMP doesn’t have a full HR department, maybe one person that here full time but the rest will be at the headquarters. Dames goes for many other departments that doesn’t need to be at CMP when it can be located at NY or CT. I heard how they pull linemen from other OPCO when a big storm hit and so on.

A new Pine Tree Power will probably need to hire hundreds of new workers not accounted for driving up cost

Totally agree, and see a huge lack of understanding of these things in the posts I read.

100% agree. It's just a lot of "CMP BAD!" because it's (supposedly) an evil, private, foreign-owned company that just cares about money and raises rates for no reason. The idea that some politicians in Augusta will be able to not just take over, but do a better job, is dangerously naive. It will suck, be a lumbering, bureaucratic nightmare that will result in a whole lot of Mainers without power.
