National Grid PLC (NG.LN) said Thursday that it reached a three-year rate agreement with the Rhode Island Division of Public Utilities and Carriers, allowing for a cumulative revenue increase of $48 million for its electricity-and-gas operations in the U.S. state.

The British utility said the settlement provides incremental revenue increases in each of the three years, allowing for a return on equity of 9.3%. The new rates will be effective Sept. 1.

National Grid said the agreement will now go before the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission for final review and approval.
