Save Money on Utility Bills

You have energy choices! The New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) has opened the State's electric industry to competition. You could save money by shopping for lower cost power from your utility or from an Energy Services Company (ESCO). Competition can lower your cost and protect you from rising prices.
