How New York Deregulated Energy Works for Business
New York restructured its electric industry in 1996. Today, the state's major utilities — Con Edison, National Grid, Central Hudson, NYSEG, and RG&E — deliver power and maintain the physical grid. The generation supply charge is open to competition from licensed retail suppliers.
For commercial accounts, this means you can keep your trusted utility for delivery while negotiating a better supply rate. We collect your usage history, audit your bill for delivery errors and demand charges, and request fixed-rate bids from 30+ suppliers. The result is a transparent, apples-to-apples comparison that shows exactly how much you can save.
