Reply to comment by jumboshrimp93 in National Grid rate increase, but seems a lot higher than anticipated? by jumboshrimp93

Are you comparing last year’s bill for this time to this year’s bill? Or last month to this month?

I’m looking at both this time last year, where my bill was around $110 (though usage was lower) and looking at my highest usage bill this summer, which was $170.

When they say there’s a 64% increase they should be referring to the static service rate right? The thing that’s confusing me is the service rate going from .11 to .33. That’s not 64%. And it’s the only thing that I saw a jump in from this pill and previous bills.

Same here. I don't know where they got that 64% increase from, maybe last winter? I don't have that rate handy though.

When they quoted 64% increase over last winter, they were referring to the total bill (including monthly customer charge, supply, and delivery), not just the supply rate.
