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.

Check the total price and contract terms before accepting an offer. For service or billing questions, find the right contact.
