National Grid electric customers could see lower
bills this spring.
The company has asked the state’s Department of
Public Utilities to allow them to change the the Basic Service charge from the
current price of over 16 cents a kilowatt hour to just over 9 cents per
kilowatt hour.
The decrease, National Grid explains, is primarily
due to fluctuations in the wholesale electricity market prices, which are costs
the company does not control.
