That is the ask, not the outcome: commissions usually approve less than the utility requests. Each case below links its docket and sources.

How to have a say
Rate cases are decided by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities, which takes written comments on every docket and holds public hearings on the big ones. Comment deadlines and hearing dates are on each case page above when we have them. The office that argues for households in these cases is the Massachusetts Attorney General, Energy and Ratepayer Advocacy; its filings are the plain-English version of the utility's numbers.
