Time may be running out to set up long term winter savings. Basic service rates may be rising across most of MA and that’s because of the high cost and demand for winter heating. That’s why now may be the right time to shop Massachusetts electric rates<\/a> that may save you big this winter. You don’t want to miss out on what could be the last great energy deals of the year! So let’s talk about why you should shop fixed rate electric plans now to save more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From now until the end of January, Eversou<\/a>r<\/a>ce (NStar)<\/a><\/strong> customers in Norfolk will see their basic service rates stay at 14.884 cents per kWh. But on February 1, they could rise to 15.065 cents per kWh. This increase means an average supply charge going up from $84 a month to almost $86 starting February 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this all means is that you could save more in the long run, if you lock in a cheap rate in time for January. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
