* What is DASI and why did it cause the rate to increase?
The increase is due to a new regulatory requirement called the Day-Ahead Ancillary Services Initiative (DASI). DASI improves the electric grid reliability by ensuring power plants are available on short notice if needed.
DASI was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in January 2024 and took effect in March 2025. All electricity suppliers, including New Boston’s, must now pay DASI-related costs. These costs will be included in Eversource’s Default Service rates, and future New Boston Community Power contracts.
