Are you sure about that? CMP is owned by Energy East.
No mention of FPL anywhere.
Now, it is entirely possible that FPL owns generation facilities in Maine that sell power to CMP. FPL own generation all over the country.

You are 100% correct, my bad. I think Energy East bought it from FPL a few years ago. I see FPL trucks all over the place up here, usually at hydro plants.

There are 21 of them and had to do with REA.
If power was needed from point A to point B the lines didn't follow roads. The wire was expensive and the labor was cheep so the line went directly from point A to B over hill and dale. Some of the power rights of ways are insane.

I'm lucky to have 4:
KUA (Kissimmee Utility Authority)
OUC (Orlando Utility Authority)
FPL (Florida Power and Light)
Progress Energy
KUA and OUC have their own generating plants in town.

Hey Brian, how come on the other thread (poll) about what you are, you selected other? I thought you were a union contractor. Did you withdraw from the union or what?

Iberdrola SA, a company based in Spain, bought Energy East last year. They are now the parent company of CMP.

This kind of thing makes me wonder just how much of the USA is owned by foreign companies.

There's a big stink going on in Maryland now with BGE's parent company (Constellation) which owns the power plants. They lost their ass in some financial market shenanigans in '08, had Warren Buffet come in and rescue.. forced Warren out, and now want Electricte de France (French Co) to buy about 1/2 the company.
Maryland needs another Nuke plant but there aren't many places to (practically) site one except for Calvert Cliffs where two already are. But CEG doesn't want to let an outsider into their sandbox and can't seem to get financing to build on their own... thus EDF who also happen to expert nuke plant builders and operators.
But no one trusts BGE/CEG management to not be pulling a fast one and we the people seem to trust the State (PSC) even less... so we remain at a stalemate.

Metropilitan Edison MET-ED here where I am. Over 40 Municipalities in Berks county have signed a one year contract with them starting in 2010 to buy power at 30% rate increases when rate caps in PA expire. This was to help keep the prices lower than what they are expected to be.
