Governor Maura Healey has filed legislation she says will save residents and businesses ten-billion-dollars on their energy bills.
Healey says the proposal will remove charges from utility customer bills, and take steps to bring more energy into Massachusetts.
The legislation saves customers money, brings more energy into Massachusetts, and increases accountability of the utilities and drives innovation.
“Our administration cut taxes and is working to lower costs on every front – from housing to child care to energy,” said Governor Healey. “Massachusetts families and businesses can’t afford big energy price spikes now, or in the future. This bill – along with our energy affordability agenda – gets costs off bills, saves people money, and adopts an all of the above strategy to bring new energy into Massachusetts.”
The governor says her plan also would create accountability among utility companies, and provide customers with tools to manage power use and lower their bills.
