Read the Notice

Case 24-E-0322 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission as to the Rates, Charges, Rules and Regulations of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid for Electric Service.

Case 24-G-0323 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission as to the Rates, Charges, Rules and Regulations of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid for Gas Service.

Public comment is invited concerning proposed changes in the electric and gas delivery rates and practices of Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid (National Grid or the Company). National Grid filed amendments to its electric and gas tariff schedules on May 28, 2024, proposing to increase its annual electric and gas delivery revenues effective April 1, 2025. More specifically, National Grid seeks to increase its electric delivery revenues by approximately $525 million (20% increase in base delivery revenues or an 11% increase in total revenues) and its gas delivery revenues by approximately $148 million (28% increase in base delivery revenues or a 15% increase in total revenues). 

These increases would result in total monthly bill increases for the average residential customer of approximately $18.92 (15%) for electric and $18.34 for gas (20%). The Company states that it is focused on three priorities for these rate filings: (1) continuing to meet its core obligation to deliver safe, reliable energy service to its more than two million customers; (2) enabling customers to affordably meet their energy needs while improving customer service; and (3) supporting the clean energy transition and advancing the goals of New York State’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
