Re:

Electricity Maine, Docket No. 2010-256

Dear Pat:
This letter is to confirm the understanding between Electricity Maine and the MPUC
Staff resulting from discussions over the last several months. Based on these discussions,
Electricity Maine will send a letter to its customers that enrolled or renewed its service between
January 1, 2013 and April 30, 2013 and have a rate that is higher than the current standard
offer. This letter will inform customers of their current rates and term with Electricity Maine, and
the current applicable standard offer rate and expiration date. The letter will provide customers
with the option to transfer to standard offer service at no cost and provide at least twenty-one
days for customers to make a choice.
Additionally, Electricity Maine has agreed to notify customers of both its new rate and
the existing rate when it provides contract renewal information. This agreement extends until
the Commission revises its consumer protections rules as contemplated in the current Docket
No. 2013-200 proceeding.

Sincerely
/s/ Mitchell Tannenbaum
Mitchell Tannenbaum
Deputy General Counsel
