rate increase

Just when you thought the winter heating bills couldn't get any higher, National Grid is making sure the pain continues into spring.

A representative from National Grid was on the Keeler Show on WIBX Thursday morning to discuss the recent announcement that the power company is asking the Public Service Commission (PSC) to approve a 15 to 20 percent increase on natural gas and electric rates beginning in 2025.

The cost of almost everything is going up. You may soon have to add electric and natural gas in New York to that long list.

If you are a New York State Electric and Gas customer, you could be seeing a significant increase soon. You can voice your opinion about the rate hike several different ways. Here's how.

Usually the hot summer weather leads to running the air conditioners more which makes our electric bills higher this time of year. Well this National Grid increase has nothing to do with the summer season.
