"The extreme weather this winter is driving up bills. The heating system in a home can represent up to 40 to 70 percent of the energy bill."
"The average National Grid winter gas bill for NYC residential customers rose by 25 percent from last winter to this winter, according to the company's filings."
New York experienced its coldest winter in decades, resulting in a 25% increase in average National Grid gas bills for residential customers. The average monthly charge rose from $231 to $290. This increase is attributed to record-setting wholesale gas prices driven by extreme weather and high energy usage. Many residents, like Marge Beane, are struggling to cope with these rising costs, especially during a time of financial strain due to job losses and low incomes.
