National Grid utility customers in New York who heat their homes with natural gas can expect to pay approximately 39% more in the upcoming home-heating season.
A National Grid spokeswoman, in a conference call on Tuesday, said that would translate on average to a winter heating bill of $943 for the season, or $263 over the current year.
The five-month home heating season runs from Nov. 1 to March 31. National Grid says the average residential customer uses 713 therms in that period.
"Therm" is the unit of measurement of natural gas over time. One therm is equal to 100,000 British thermal units, BTUs.
