Gov. Maura Healey and Massachusetts lawmakers are calling on the Department of Public Utilities to address the “skyrocketing energy costs” residents are experiencing this winter .

Senators from across the state sent a letter to DPU chair James Van Nostrand urging regulators to revisit the approved natural gas rates.

Eversource spokesman William Hinkle said the latest increase is due to increased demand for the state’s Mass Save energy efficiency program.
