National Grid and Eversource announced major price hikes this week that are expected to have a huge impact on Massachusetts electric and natural gas ratepayers heading into the cold winter months.

National Grid announced Wednesday that its electric customers will see a 64% increase on average in their electric bills, and a 22% hike in their natural gas bills beginning Nov. 1.

Eversource is on a different schedule and won’t be updating its electric rates until Feb. 1, but they said their natural gas customers will see an increase of about 38% on Nov. 1.

From last month:

Electric Bills Increase by More Than Double for Many in NH

New Hampshire residents knew a spike in their electric bills was coming, but it was still a shock to many of their bank accounts…

The next rate change in New Hampshire can’t happen until Feb. 1, and bills could decrease if the price of natural gas drops. But there is no way to know from now if that will happen.

We live in MA and wife said to me last night that we will be reading by candle light dressed in layers over the winter months :wink:

I hope she’s wrong…
