National Grid’s new winter rate is 24.24 cents per kilowatt-hour. By comparison, the average electricity rate in the United States is 46 percent cheaper than the National Grid’s rate at only 13.01 cents per kilowatt-hour.

I am about 15 miles south of Boston on the coast.
I have Nat. Grid. MY total electric bill for Jan 4-Feb 4 2014 was $217.02

The rate for electric supply only- was .0922 x 1299 kwh = $119.77 (Plus another $97.25 for misc charges from Nat. Grid.= 217.02

For the same kwh usage this winter with the increased kwh rate it would be .2424 x 1299kwh = $314.87,
(Plus at least a $97.25 Misc charge = $412 or more.

I don't believe most New Englanders are aware of what is going to happen to them until the bills come due.-Tom

And it’s gonna be painful. In Reno they add on 3 or 4 “green fees/misc charges” but we just had them put us on the “averaging” plan so at least the bill will be +/- a couple dollars every month year round. Makes it easier to budget.

Capt. Tom, I’m in the same area. Maybe, just maybe, once the tree huggers and the other dolts who live around here see their electric bills, they’ll finally start to wake up....
