National Grid Gas Rate Hike Faces Key Massachusetts Test at Public Hearing
BOSTON, April 6, 2026, 3:18 PM National Grid plc is back under the microscope in Massachusetts on Monday. Regulators will take public comments in Lynn later today on a plan that could hike gas delivery charges in the company’s service areas. The proposal, if it goes through, would tack roughly $24 onto the average winter heating bill for customers in greater Boston and central Massachusetts, while folks in Cape Cod and the Merrimack Valley would see about $25 more each month.
