National grid customers in Massachusetts will actually be paying more than Hawaii at .48 kwh. Still cheaper than California with its peak time of use rates where its like .68 kwh. I just read some post here recently where people in Europe are saying its almost $1 euro a kwh in a few counties which is just nuts.

From Lamont's press release the other week.

As of January 1, 2023, Connecticut’s all-in residential electric rates ($0.35/kWh) for both Eversource and UI will be within the same range as most New England utilities, including New Hampshire ($0.33/kWh to $0.39/kWh) and Rhode Island ($0.29/kWh). Only Maine ($0.24/kWh to $0.28/kWh) and Vermont* ($0.18/kWh) are lower. Meanwhile, customers of National Grid and Unitil in Massachusetts are paying over 40% higher rates than Connecticut at $0.48/kWh and $0.42/kwh (Note: Electric rates change seasonally and on different timeframes for each utility; these figures are subject to change).
