New York energy options
New York uses the term Energy Services Company, or ESCO, for eligible third-party electricity and natural gas suppliers.
Electricity
ESCO options by service territory
New York DPS explains electricity supply choices and links to its Power to Choose comparison service. Review the offer type carefully: renewable or approved value-added products may follow different pricing rules. [1]
Before you decide: Check the complete written offer and the DPS complaint information. Consumers receiving assistance should use the program-specific eligibility guidance.
Natural gas
ESCO gas options
DPS also provides natural gas ESCO guidance. You can retain utility supply rather than switch. Compare the gas commodity price, contract length, additional charges and cancellation terms. [1]
Before you decide: An electricity ESCO offer does not confirm that the same company serves your gas account. Check both utility territory and fuel.
