Lawmakers have criticized the Public Service Commission for letting utility companies earn high profits while rate hikes push National Grid bills up by about $22 a month—some proposals aim to cap the return on equity even if experts say lower profits would only trim a few dollars off bills. Utility executives plan to keep spending on grid upgrades that will pass more costs to consumers, adding fuel to the debate over utility regulation.
