Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities Public Hearing

On August 1, 2025, Boston Gas Company d/b/a National Grid (“Company”) filed with the Department of Public Utilities (“Department”) its 2022-2024 Three-Year Energy Efficiency Plan Term Report (“Term Report”). The Term Report documents actual energy savings, benefits, and expenditures resulting from the implementation of the Company’s 2022-2024 three-year energy efficiency plan approved by the Department in Boston Gas Company, D.P.U. 21-124 (2022). The Department has docketed this matter as D.P.U. 25-124. 

The Department will review the Term Report to determine, among other things, whether the Company: (1) reported its program savings, benefits, and costs accurately and reliably; and (2) implemented its energy efficiency programs in a manner that was consistent with statutory requirements and the Department-approved Three-Year Plan. See G.L. c. 25, § 19(d)(2); G.L. c. 25, § 21(b)(3); G.L. c. 25, §§ 19(a) and (c). Based on the results of the investigation, the Department will approve final recovery of costs incurred during the three-year term, including performance incentive payments. G.L. c. 25, § 19. 

The Department will conduct a public hearing to receive comments on the petition using Zoom videoconferencing on December 18, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Attendees can join by entering the link, https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87598803443, from a computer, smartphone, or tablet.
