National Grid will be allowed a 53 percent electric rate increase. The Public Utilities Commission today voted to approve the utility company's request. The company said the increase is due to auction rates locked in three years ago. It applies to the "supply side" of the bill only and would mean a total increase between 16 and 18 percent for the average customer. However, the actual increase will also depend on usage. This will not effect Pascoag Utility District customers.
