SPRINGFIELD — With residents across the state concerned about rising utility costs, local legislators in Western Mass., and throughout the state, are ordering the Department of Public Utilities to review recent energy rate increases by investor-owned utility companies like National Grid and Eversource.
On Feb. 14, senators and representatives from across the commonwealth sent a letter to DPU Chair James Van Nostrand that demands the DPU to reassess rate adjustments made by these companies and to hold “Eversource accountable.”
Many local legislators in Reminder Publishing’s coverage area signed the letter in support of this review.
