About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Eversource / National Grid Low-Income Discount Rate in its Boston, MA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners and renters; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Income-eligible Massachusetts households can receive significant discounts on their monthly utility bills: up to 42% off electric bills and 25% off gas bills through Eversource, and up to 71% off electric bills through National Grid's tiered structure. MassHealth and DTA clients are enrolled automatically. Other households at or below 60% of state median income can apply directly through the utility.
Ongoing monthly discount, not a one-time grant. Electric: up to 42% (Eversource) or 71% (National Grid). Gas: 25% (Eversource). Automatic for MassHealth/DTA recipients.
