Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey says she is “deeply troubled by the recent spike in natural gas utility rates and the financial strain this unexpected rate hike is having on Massachusetts residents.

Eversource and National Grid customers are facing an astonishing 27% increase for the coming heating season.

DPU says winter gas rates are based on utilities’ projected supply and delivery costs, including rising expenses tied to Mass Save energy efficiency program.

Eversource has scheduled two webinars for customers this week to help them learn more about their bills and assistance programs.

January 2025 was about 15% colder than December 2024 , and it was 10% colder in January 2024 .

DPU launched an official “inquiry” on the high costs and potential improvements to current energy affordability programs that could reduce that burden on ratepayers.
