Update on Eversource gas bill

I emailed DPU last week about how our summer gas bill has increased significantly. I got a response for a DPU compliance officer. I asked about what "infrastructure" is being upgraded and they could not answer the question.

Below is the response from them:

"The explanation for the sudden increase in the summer bill is that there was a temporary reduction in the delivery charge for the Feb. and Mar. bills, which was ordered by the Governor. Unfortunately, the charges could not be permanently reduced this way. To make up the company revenues that were already legally approved, the companies agreed to make up for it in the May to October bills. (The companies also wanted to charge interest on these deferred amounts, which was not approved.) So not only did the delivery charge go back to a higher rate, the deferred amounts were also added on."
