National Grid Expecting Lower Heating Bills this Winter

 


CONSUMER ALERT: NATIONAL GRID EXPECTING LOWER HEATING BILLS THIS WINTER

Learn more at their upcoming Customer Savings Event on Tuesday, October 24th at the Rose Baker Senior Center, 6 Manuel F. Lewis Street, Gloucester.

National Grid recently announced the continuation of its successful Customer Savings Initiative into the 2023-2024 winter heating season. Launched in 2022, the Customer Savings Initiative connects customers with resources to reduce energy usage and save money, better manage bills, and secure available energy assistance.

Overall, monthly electric bills are expected to be 27 percent lower than a year ago, driven by winter electricity supply costs 46 percent lower than the 2022-23 winter heating season, due in large part to a more stable global energy market. Even with bills anticipated to be significantly lower this winter season than last, National Grid continues to encourage customers to take advantage of the programs that are part of the Customer Savings Initiative, including:

• Extensive residential and business energy efficiency programs and incentives

• Low-cost and no-cost bill management solutions

• Flexible payment programs

• Payment assistance programs for income-eligible customers

The Customer Savings Initiative is also supported by $1 million provided to community partners that helps customers address food and financial insecurity, including multiple food banks and pantries, as well as, our regional United Way partners and Good Neighbor Energy Fund.
