The Northeast already has some of the highest electricity prices in the country, and global volatility and a new way to set rates means consumers will see a rate hike on Aug. 1.

We have more on this important consumer story, and tips to help mitigate the impact on your budget.

Another top story this week: Doctors and social workers in Cheshire County are working to help more people navigate end-of-life care with advance directives, including a living will, and to get them completed on the spot.
