Mike Eaton, Rates Manager for Emera Maine, discusses electricity supply and distribution costs with members of LEADers Encouraging Aroostook Development and Aroostook Partnership for Progress during a meeting at the Caribou Inn and Convention Center on Oct. 28. The jointly-sponsored meeting to discuss Emera Maine rates was accompanied by a complimentary breakfast. During the meeting Eaton said a well-publicized increase in costs due to natural gas supply concerns is not an issue for the Maine Public Service District of Emera Maine. Only electric utilities connected to ISO New England will see costs spike this winter.
