National Grid to Host Customer Assistance Event in North Adams
WALTHAM, Mass — National Grid will host a series of statewide Customer Assistance events during April 2026, with advocates visiting every region within the utility's Massachusetts footprint.
The North Adams event will be held on April 14, from 11 am to 3 pm at the Berkshire Community Action Council at 85 Main Street.
As the weather warms up, customers can still get help managing their energy bills, including support with costs from the winter months and planning ahead for future usage.
"As spring arrives, National Grid's customer advocates continue to engage with customers across Massachusetts, helping them take advantage of available resources," said Bill Malee, Chief Customer Officer, National Grid. "We also appreciate the community organizations that work with us to reach customers and share information about available assistance."
In addition, National Grid reminds customers that applications for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), commonly referred to as Fuel Assistance, will close on April 30, 2026. Customers can find eligibility criteria and the program application on the Massachusetts Home Energy Assistance Program website or they can connect with a local Fuel Assistance Agency for help with the process.
The statewide events are part of the utility's commitment to helping customers manage bill impacts. National Grid's Customer Service Specialists experts will be on hand to manage seasonal energy bills and explore cost-saving programs to meet each customer's needs, highlighting programs such as:
- National Grid's Payment Assistance Bundle;
- Budget Billing;
- The Energy Discount Rate (for qualifying customers);
- Home energy assessments; and
- Information on other energy efficiency opportunities for homes or businesses.
