Office of the Public Advocate v. Public Utilities Commission

Summary

The Maine Supreme Judicial Court affirmed the Public Utilities Commission’s order approving an amended special rate contract between Bangor Natural Gas and Bucksport Generation. The Court held that the Commission applied the proper, market‑aware standard of review, that the contract did not produce unjust, unreasonable, or discriminatory rates, and that the Public Advocate’s evidentiary‑record argument was waived. Accordingly, the Commission’s order stands.
