Regional Electric Llc

What Regional Electric Llc does

Regional Electric LLC is a Lewiston, Maine-based, founder-owned commercial and industrial electrical contracting firm founded in 2011 by Frank Lemelin. The company delivers design-build, installation, and long-term service across five core service lines: design-build electrical work, interior and exterior lighting upgrades, telecommunications infrastructure, commercial generator installation (including Cummins units up to 450 kW), and fire alarm systems. Its documented project portfolio spans healthcare (Alere in Scarborough; Seaside Rehabilitation in Portland), education (Lewiston Middle School, a 130,000 sf renovation executed while the school remained operational), financial services (Norway Savings Bank branch in Gray), transportation and industrial (Hartt Transportation's 32,000 sf facility in Lewiston), and historic senior housing renovation (Cony Flatiron Building in Augusta).

The company operates with a team of over 20 full-time licensed electricians, drawing technical leadership from founder Frank Lemelin, who holds a master electrician license and brings over 20 years of industry experience including a 19-year tenure as foreman, estimator, and purchaser at a large Portland-based contractor and 6 years as an electrician in the Army National Guard. Projects are acquired through competitive bidding, design-build invitations from general contractor partners — primarily Hebert Construction and Ledgewood Construction — and direct relationships with property owners; engineering collaboration with firms such as Harriman Engineers supports integrated design-build delivery.

The business model is project-based commercial contracting with custom, scope-driven pricing; revenue is generated from one-time project fees for new construction and renovation work, with ongoing service relationships supplementing project revenue. Regional Electric holds surety bonding capacity through Skillings Shaw that enables participation in larger commercial projects, and is an active member of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC Maine). The company is privately held with no disclosed outside institutional capital, operates exclusively within Maine from its Lewiston headquarters, and has no public-company listing, subsidiaries, or M&A activity on record.
