Pascoag Utility District Announces Rate Reduction

The Pascoag Utility District announced that its customers will receive a rate reduction in 2012. For a residential customer using 500 kilowatt hours, the change will result in a decrease of about $6.59 per month, an 8.8 percent reduction. The utility said the reduction was possible because the Pasoag Utility District, which provides power to about 5,000 customers in the Villages of Pascoag and Harrisville, secured a favorable supply arrangement that will be in place for the next three years.
