Massachusetts residents who have National Grid are going to see a rather dramatic increase in their electric bills beginning Tuesday.
That is when electric rates will increase dramatically.
According to the latest figures, the average customer who uses 600 kilowatt-hours of electricity will pay just under 300 dollars for the winter.
Last year it was about 180 dollars.
Customers should expect about a 64% increase in bills.
National Grid isn't the only utility that will increase rates.
Eversource says it will increase rates as well. But that won't happen until January.
