Attention NYSEG Customers: Please note Assemblymember Chris Burdick will also be an intervenor in the NYSEG rate cases. Please disregard the following information about Con Edison and proceed to the survey.
The offices of Assemblymembers MaryJane Shimsky, Chris Burdick, and Dana Levenberg have formally become parties (also known as intervenors) in the Con Edison electric and gas rate cases currently being reviewed by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC). All three offices are participating in the process to help them better represent constituents struggling with high utility bills.
A utility rate case is a formal process through which regulated utilities like Con Edison request permission from the PSC to raise customer rates. These cases determine how much a utility can charge customers for service and how much revenue it will be allowed to collect for a specified period. Utilities are entitled to charge “just and reasonable” rates, but they are required to demonstrate why rate increases are justified.
This survey seeks to gather data from constituents of Assembly Districts 92, 93, and 95 to help inform testimony to oppose or support the proposal made by Con Edison for future customer rates. Find out who your Assemblymember is here.
Details about Con Edison's rate proposal can be found here. Public comment on these rate cases is being collected by the Department of Public Service, the state agency responsible for overseeing utilities in the state of New York, through November 21. Please note that by completing this survey, you are submitting comments only to the offices of Assemblymembers MaryJane Shimsky, Chris Burdick, and Dana Levenberg, not the Department of Public Service. An in-person public hearing is being scheduled for Westchester County residents, with further details to be announced. Residents can also share their opinions by calling the PSC’s opinion line at 1-800-335-2120. Comments can be submitted online at the Department of Public Service’s website; visit https://dps.ny.gov/how-post-comments-and-receive-updates-psc-cases for more information about how to submit comments online. Comments can also be submitted via postal mail. Send letters to: Hon. Michelle L. Phillips, Secretary, Public Service Commission, Three Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12223-1350. Letter writers should include the case number 25-E-0072 for the electric case and 25-G-0073 for the gas case.
