National Grid PLC said Monday that it has filed a request to the
Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities to increase its gas
distribution revenue by $138 million, and to allow it a return on
equity of 10.5%.
The FTSE 100 energy-networks company said the revenue increase
would cover higher operating costs and core investments. In
addition, the group is also requesting a new performance-based rate
mechanism that would link annual revenue increases to inflation,
and new investments of up to $50 million to decarbonize natural gas
networks--including hydrogen blending, shared geothermal loops,
renewable natural gas, and demand-side response measures--,which
would be claimed through existing regulatory mechanisms outside the
requested revenue increase.
The rate filing is expected to conclude in Sept. 2021, and the
new rates will be effective from Oct. 1, 2021.
