National Grid is hosting a series of customer assistance events throughout February, including one in Fall River, to help residents manage high energy bills during the cold winter months.

The utility company is offering 31 in-person events to provide guidance on bill assistance and energy-saving programs, according to a community announcement. The events aim to support customers facing increased energy costs due to colder-than-normal weather across Massachusetts.

Fall River's event will take place 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 17 at Citizens for Citizens, 264 Griffin St.

"We understand the challenge residents are facing from increasing costs, which are only worsened by the extreme cold across our region," said Bill Malee, chief customer officer at National Grid. "These events will help provide critical relief to our customers by connecting them to support programs and tools, while also providing insights into their home energy use, information that can help customers conserve energy and reduce their bills."
