PORTLAND, Maine — Nearly 7,000 people in Portland were without power Monday afternoon due to a transformer failure on Bishop Street, Central Maine Power spokesperson Catherine Hartnett told NEWS CENTER Maine.
As of 5:45 p.m., Central Maine Power reports 2,145 people are still without power, all but three of which are in Cumberland County. Hartnett said CMP will try two approaches to get power back.
