MA Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell, in her role as the state’s ratepayer advocate, issued the following statement in response to the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities’s (DPU) issuance of an Order adopting many of her recommendations, which will make the inaugural Electric Sector Modernization Plans more affordable for ratepayers. “As electric bills continue to skyrocket across the Commonwealth, ratepayers need and deserve relief. I applaud the DPU for adopting many of my office’s recommendations to protect ratepayers from unnecessary costs while still providing electric companies an avenue to make targeted investments in our electric grid. I am deeply committed to helping our state achieve its clean energy goals at a reasonable cost for Massachusetts ratepayers.” – AG Campbell
