Types of energy plans in Maine
Get a consistent rate on your monthly energy bill with a fixed-rate plan. These plans are perfect if you want a predictable bill to avoid energy cost spikes. We recommend fixed-rate plans for most residential customers because they offer protection from unexpectedly high energy bills and allow you to lock in a long-term rate.
Understanding Deregulation in Maine
Maine has a deregulated energy market, giving residents and businesses the power to choose their electricity provider. With deregulation, energy suppliers compete to offer you the best electricity rate and customer service. As a result, you can save money on your energy bills and find an energy plan in Maine that fits your electricity usage.
My Power Switch is different: Our easy-to-use online marketplace displays electric rates, plans, and providers in your area — all in one place.
We list independent electricity provider ratings, term lengths, rate types, and more to make signing up for a new plan quick and easy. We also have useful buying guides and resources to help you understand the energy industry.

Energy Suppliers
In deregulated states, utility companies and electric providers have different roles. Residents have the power to choose their Maine electricity provider which is responsible for selling electricity to consumers. With deregulation in Maine, there’s more competition among energy providers. You can compare energy plans from various providers to secure a low electricity rate and save money on your energy bills.
Maine Price to Compare
The Price to Compare (PTC) in many deregulated states is the utility company’s default rate if you do not sign up for a specific energy plan from an independent provider. In Maine, you cannot sign up for an energy plan through your utility company. Instead, you’ll automatically be enrolled in an energy plan with a provider under the default rate if you do not sign up for an alternative plan. You can secure a lower rate by choosing your own plan.
Utility Providers
The utility company is responsible for transmitting electricity, maintaining electrical infrastructure, and restoring power during an outage. Your address determines your utility, and you cannot change it. Here are the main utility companies serving residents and businesses across Maine:
:
-
AEP Maine Central
-
AEP Maine North
-
Oncor Electric Delivery
-
Maine-New Power
