Maine Regulation of Public Utilities: Second Edition
Verrill Dana's Utilities Group has released the second edition of Maine Regulation of Public Utilities, the only treatise on the subject of public utility regulation in Maine.
"This new edition reflects most of the significant changes in Maine utility law since we published the first edition of the book in 2008," said William Harwood, Chair of Verrill Dana's Utilities and Energy Group. "The book, which draws heavily on the group's more than 100 years of collective experience, aims to provide a complete picture of utility regulation in Maine today and how it has dramatically evolved."
