Pole Attachment Licensing

 

Beginning January 24, 2018, any prospective attaching entity that is not attached to any joint-use utility poles in Maine prior to the effective date of Chapter 880 must obtain a Pole Attachment License from the Commission prior to attaching to any joint-use utility pole in Maine.

The license application is available here in Word or on request to the PUC at 207-287-3831 (ask for the "Chapter 880 Pole Attachment Application Package"). The application includes instructions and references to the PUC rule governing licensing, Chapter 880.

Below please find a list of attaching entities that were approved by the Commission after January 24, 2018.
