Power District Seeks About Five Percent Revenue Increase
Kennebunk Light and Power District officials asked the PUC for roughly a five percent overall revenue hike, potentially adding about $10,000 in new revenue. General manager George D. Noiles and others said the raise would cover rising operating costs and growing demand, marking the first rate request in over 50 years. Residential rates could rise about eight percent on a graduated scale, with a separate request for a general service rate for larger stores and commercial establishments, while current power and commercial rates were deemed sufficient.
