Hello Brunswick Landing Community,
As we are fast approaching winter storm season, we are undoubtedly going to be faced with campus-wide outages on Brunswick Landing. Our goal at MRRA is to provide as much communication as possible to the Landing businesses and surrounding community as to when power will be restored and will hopefully be able to ease some of the stress that comes along with power outages that unfortunately will affect business operations in the coming months.
We want to remind everyone that the connection to the New England power grid for Brunswick Landing Electric Utility (BLEU) goes through the CMP grid, so when the Cook’s Corner area of Brunswick loses power, BLEU’s grid goes down as well. If there is a power outage, we recommend checking the CMP outage map as many area outages occur within CMP’s territory, but outside of Brunswick Landing. CMP is responsible for providing BLEU with outage updates so we can pass those updates along to our customers as they come in. For outages on the Landing, we are provided updates from our line maintenance contractor, Enterprise Electric, on when we expect power to be restored.
There are a few resources made available at this time that we utilize to communicate any and all updates that our team receives when it comes to restoring power:
- We post outages on the website when we are made aware of said outage.
- We will post updates throughout the day as we receive updates from CMP and/or Enterprise Electric as to when power will be restored.
- At the bottom of the home page there is a “report an outage” link that is greatly appreciated when used, as it helps us be notified of an outage that we may not be aware of at the time. Tenants and businesses on the Landing have been very successful to this date at using this link so we really appreciate that!
- You can go directly to https://www.cmpco.com/outages to get real time updates and utilize the ‘Outage Map’ to better predict when your exact location will be back online.
- Once we are notified of an outage, we update our utility mailbox at 207 798 6512 ext. 219 with any and all updates as we receive them.
Just a reminder that we are provided with electricity through CMP (Central Maine Power) and although we will try to be as helpful as possible, we only know as much information as CMP provides us with throughout the day. Sometimes this means we can go for hours without an update as they are still assessing the problem, so we appreciate any and all patience with our team. We cannot unfortunately prevent these outages from occurring during big storms, but we can however try our best to mitigate confusion and help communicate the information that is provided to us.
Stay safe and stay warm this Winter,
Thank you,
