National Grid Improper Charges for Taxes Not Owed Complaint

October 20, 2022

This class action alleges that National Grid USA Services Co., Inc. and Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (which does business as National Grid) are undermining the ability of renewable energy companies to compete in providing energy in New York. It claims that, when they charged two renewable energy companies for connections to their grid, they required the two to pay an extra charge for taxes on their payments. The complaint claims that National Grid does not owe and does not pay taxes on the payments because they are not classified as income.
