Massachusetts AG Andrea Campbell is calling on the state DPU to “prioritize affordability over company profits” as Bay Staters voice sharp opposition to the agency’s order for a 5% gas reduction

Gov. Maura Healey and Attorney General Andrea Campbell both demanded the Department of Public Utilities and gas companies do more than offer a 5% rate cut​.

In the letter, which was issued to Berkshire Gas, Eversource, Liberty, National Grid and Unitil, the DPU states the reduction will apply to bills in March and April, which is when the winter heating season officially ends.
