1.24.17 - PSC Approves New Rate Plan w/New Initiatives & Renewable Power Options for ConEd Customers
"The New York State Public Service Commission (Commission) today announced that greater energy efficiency, smart-grid technologies and other money-saving alternatives will be available to an increasing number of Consolidated Edison customers under a new rate plan approved today. The decision also includes measures to encourage the growth of solar and other renewable power resources, as well as measures to improve gas safety and broader discounts available for qualified low-income residential electric and gas customers."
“A number of important energy reforms and policy initiatives will move forward under today’s order,” said Commission Chair Audrey Zibelman. “The new plan furthers our efforts to move utilities toward a cleaner, more distributed, customer-centric model for utility service, along with less-costly and cleaner alternatives to traditional utility infrastructure investments. In addition, for both electric and gas, improvements are made to ensure the most vulnerable customers are protected and that the delivery systems are resilient and reliable.”
