Jeffrey Dyer Forest Ridge Campground 40 Flockamoosen Way Ellsworth Me Email ID: forestridgecampground@gmail.com Phone No.: 2076647070	5/9/2024	Say No to Versant Power's Request. Received a letter from Versant yesterday, seriously, a 3500% increase? Enough is enough!
JOY L SINCLAIR 211 CENTER ST Email ID: joysef99@gmail.com Phone No.: 2072270722	4/23/2024	I hereby submit the official opinion that this electricity rate increase is preposterous. If Versant and CMP had spent $24 million dollars on infrastructure instead of a massive No on 3 campaign, which was doomed to fail anyhow, the storms that affected us this past winter would have been a much lesser issue. Reference: https://spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/news/2023/10/06/maine-question3-cmp-versent-pine-tree-power- We are Mainers. We work hard and we expect our electricity to work. This is not Texas. As a child growing up in Maine, we almost never lost power, and I was outside a tiny town in the middle of central Maine. It's completely unheard of to lose power as often as we do IN A CITY, and these monopolies can beg the PUC for approval anytime they want to raise rates. They can complain about our infrastructure, but if they'd been keeping up with that instead of wasting money and padding politicians' pockets, we would not be in this situation. Reference: https://www.maine.gov/governor/mills/news/radio_address/please-vote-no-question-3-2023-09-20 Wages in Maine DO NOT allow for continued rate hikes. We can't afford houses. We can't afford rent. We are PLEADING. Reference: https://www.bangordailynews.com/2023/06/17/business/maine-apartments-are-unaffordable-joam40zk0w/ Do not allow this rate increase. Force these monopolies to dig into the pockets of their C-suite and chastize them for not spending money to keep up our infrastructure. I live in town, and cannot even believe the amount of times I've lost power for transformers that have aged out blowing up. No, no, no more rate increases.

Dana Francey 36 Libbey Ln Email ID: danalfrancey@gmail.com Phone No.: 2072992926	4/15/2024	Power in Maine is far too expensive. We are one of the most poor states yet electricity is in the top 5. You wanted us to buy heat pumps, then rates double/triple.. its not worth running them all winter long like it used to be. Now the latest push is electric vehicles.. well most EVs average 2.4 miles per KwH in Maine over the course of the year since winter hits their efficiency - that makes it 12.4 cents a mile (not counting charger inefficiency losses) to drive a mile in an electric car... meanwhile a far cheaper ICE vehicle with 33mpg mileage is costing 10 cents a mile. It isnt supposed to be backwards like this.
Shawn Haskell Chapman, Maine	4/4/2024	Please see attached Word document. Thank you.	To whom it may concern - Energy.docx
Maria Gott 174 Goose Cove Road Email ID: mgott45@gmail.com Phone No.: 12074605885	4/4/2024	Say no to Versant charging customers more. They already steal from us every month. and when services are used less, they do not give us a discount.
Andrew Roberts Van Alstyne 78 Brattle St South Berwick ME 03908 Email ID: Ajrvanalstyne@gmail.com	4/3/2024	I oppose any rate increase to any privately held for profit distributor, including cmp and Versant. Mainers cannot afford to pay for them padding their profit line.
Kat Taylor 1039 Southgate Rd Argyle Twp. Email ID: kat.byteme@gmail.com Phone No.: 2073942791	3/28/2024	Please find my public hearing testimony attached	Kat Taylor Versant Rate Increase 2024.pdf
Mike Whelan 47 Oak Hill Road, Orrington ME 04474 Email ID: mikewhelan83@outlook.com Phone No.: 2077455183	3/28/2024	Everyone should read and heed comments submitted by Don Tardy on March 21st. "Electrification" of all things will continue to be the primary driver of rising electrical infrastructure costs which is a hidden tax on consumers. Electrification is supporting EVs, heat pumps, etc., with solar farms, wind turbines, net-metering, etc., instead of coal and gas-fired power plants. This means Versant's electric distribution system needs to be constantly upgraded to handle the additional power (current and voltage) it must carry from local and regional generation sites. It is likely that the utility (Versant) is in a compromised position, unable to push back against the public policy. Much of the public outcry against sky-rocking electrical infrastructure cost needs to be addressed at the policy level. Versant is likely only be following the directives it receives from those administering public policy to "electrify."
Emily Muise 1904 Bayside Rd, Trenton, ME	3/28/2024	I am requesting that the MPUC reject the rate increase requested by Versant Power. Our power was out, again, from 8pm Saturday until noon on Sunday. My bill continues to rise. The State of Maine is pushing for heat pumps and electric cars but no one will be able to afford them if you continue to allow these increases.
