Massachusetts residents can expect to see 64% increases in electricity prices as the local power company announced rates set to begin on Nov. 1.
National Grid, which provides electricity and gas to Massachusetts, announced Wednesday that the average consumer using 600 kWh of electricity would pay $293 this winter, compared to $179 last winter. ...

That process has served customers well over the years and provides flexibility for unforeseen events, like limited supplier response to solicitations. But things have fundamentally changed," Burt said. "Today, under a sustained, high market price environment, it is challenging to maintain affordable prices."

By way of comparison, when you step into a blissfully icy-cold movie theater, the temperature in there is usually in the high 60s or so.
This is not normal and we should not be comfortable with this.
