Massachusetts AG Settled with National Grid over Increased Ratepayer Prices Following Utility Sale

Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey reached a settlement with National Grid after the utility company tried to increase customer rates by nearly $30 million total in order to recover costs from its sale of its utility, Narragansett Electric Company, which is located in Rhode Island. The settlement required National Grid to absorb the costs of the sale and to provide customers with a credit to cover the period that rates were increased while this case was still under review.
