National Grid’s Rising Electric Rates In MA: What Can I Do?

As if 2020 didn’t hand residents of Massachusetts enough challenges, news broke earlier this month that will make things a little tighter financially during the upcoming heating season—and well into 2021.

National Grid, one of the largest utility companies in the Northeast, has submitted proposals for increasing standard tariff offers (aka Price to Compare) between November 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021. The tariffed rate for residential customers is set to increase by a whopping 25% percent—from 9.898 cents per kWh to 12.388 cents per kWh!

This steep rise in energy prices exaggerates a trend in Massachusetts that has been gaining momentum since 2014: Despite using relatively small amounts of energy (Massachusetts reports the eighth lowest usage of electricity among states in the U.S.), Massachusetts residents pay about 7 cents per kWh more than the national average for their electricity.
