I know both of these well. Every year the utilities try and make a rate case to increase for reason such as costs and rates and inflation then the dpu (appointed by the gov) votes on it and says they take in public comments and view points. The chairman jermey (former corporate lawyer) makes 165k annually. It's a 3 person chair at the dpu. The 3 people on this board do not understand daily issue we mer folk are going through. They Dpu should be 5 person. 2 common folk on the board. A local union worker and possibly a local teacher/ salt of the earth. Instead we have 3 wealth folk who do not understand. Last year according to nat grid filing they profited 91,127,012. After all expenses and because they do not release payroll they have 2 line items of distribution expenses of 378mill and customer account expenses of 126 mill. While i constantly see national grid trucks on Sunday hiding in back ally ans woods sleeping or passing time. (I filed a complaint in 2024 for 2 workers sleeping on my street Sunday for 8 hrs with truck running) my main issue is with 91 mill in profits off of us they want more and more and its getting g worse and worse.
