Hallowell, Maine - July 28, 2020 - The Maine Public Utilities Commission (Commission) announced that it is now operating in its new location on Katherine Drive in Hallowell.

"The new building is well suited for our needs, and it is wonderful to stay in Hallowell," said Philip L. Bartlett II, Chairman of the Commission. We have named our new primary hearing room the Simpson Room in honor of Chris Simpson, a long-time attorney with the Commission who passed away just over a year ago. Chris had a positive impact on the agency during his tenure, as well as on the lives of so many who worked with him, and we felt it important to honor him.

The Commission's new offices are located on Katherine Drive, directly off Winthrop Street and a short distance from the I-95 overpass in Hallowell.
