Shrewsbury Residents Will See Electric Rate Cuts

Starting next month Shrewsbury residents, and most other electric rate payers in town, will see a reduction in their monthly bills.

According to the Worcester Telegram and Gazette, the decrease for residential use will be 4.2 percent.

"For instance, the monthly bill for a household that uses 500 kilowatt hours will go from $61.75 to $59.26," the Telegram says.

Most other customers will see a decrease as well, although the largest commercial businesses will see an increase.
