Reply to comment by PMSfishy in Boston Area Electric bills - what's yours? by mrjojo-san

I have National Grid in Massachusetts, I had National Grid when I lived in New York. National Grid in New York right now is about 17¢ (just looked at a family members bill today), when it is 48¢ in Massachusetts. It has nothing to do with being a publicly traded company and everything to do with the laws in Massachusetts that make it more expensive for consumers.

You are pulling numbers out your ass if you think 48c is the actual price. It also has everything to do with being publicly traded, must return profits to shareholders at any and all cost. It’s fucking criminal what they do.

It's 48¢. You can look on their website. 11.04¢ for delivery, 2.7¢ for MassSave 33.821¢ for supply. Comes to 47.6¢. It was to be 48.2¢ but they lowered delivery about a half a cent. Again, how can National Grid offer electricity for 17¢ in NY and 48¢ here? It's local politics, nothing to do with profit. Their profit is capped by the state. They have to do everything they are told by the state.
