Fitchburg Gas and Electric Files New Default Service Rates for All Customer Classes

Fitchburg Gas and Electric Light Company (Unitil) has filed new default service rates for the period beginning December 1, 2011.

Rates for small customers are for a six-month period. For large customers (GD-3), Unitil sought fixed monthly pricing and, alternatively, solicited for a variable monthly pricing service for 100 percent of its load requirements for both a three month period and a six month period beginning December 1, 2011. The RFP process resulted in Unitil's selection of the variable monthly pricing option for a three month period.

The rates below do not reflect a pending change in the Default Service Costs Adder from the current $0.00261 per kWh to $0.00221 per kWh, which is proposed to take effect December 1, 2011.
