Winter is Coming with "Much" Higher Electric Bills!
Winter is Coming with "Much" Higher Electric Bills!
Viridis EnergyMassachusetts electricity customers are in for a steep increase in their winter bills, National Grid warned this week. The typical residential electric customer will see a 60-75% increase in their monthly bill this winter, according to National Grid and Eversource.
National Grid said the monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 600 kilowatt-hours will increase from $179 last winter to about $293 this winter, an increase of about 64%.
The price hike is due to the "significantly higher" cost of the natural gas used to generate electricity, according to National Grid. Blame the natural gas wholesale market. Despite efforts to shift New England toward renewable energy sources, natural gas-fired power plants still provide at least half of the region’s electricity.
Costs for obtaining gas have skyrocketed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent natural gas shortage in Europe. As a regulated utility, National Grid passes the cost of the electricity it has procured on to customers with no markup. This winter, the electric supply portion will make up about two-thirds of National Grid’s electric bills.
People are struggling to make ends meet & this is going to make the colder months even tougher. National Grid's rate hike will be devastating for hundreds of thousands of customers in Massachusetts who simply cannot afford it.
