New York energy deregulation began in 1999 with the founding of the New York Independent System Operator, NYISO.

What is the PSC?

The PSC, or Public Service Commission of New York State, provides a variety of services to protect and assist utility customers. This includes service quality, competition, and metering for electricity. The PSC was created to assure the residents of New York State have adequate, efficient, reliable, and safe public utility services at a fair price.

In doing so, the PSC impacts every business in New York City – as it regulates all providers of utility services, including electric and natural gas companies, local and long-distance telephone companies, water companies, and steam generators.

What is the difference between a Utility and an Energy Provider?

Utilities are the entities in charge of the operation and maintenance of the energy infrastructure, like wires and towers. The local utility in New York City is Consolidated Edison and is responsible for transporting electricity from the generators to residential homes and businesses in this specific region.

Energy providers in New York, like Direct Energy and Frontier Energy are the competitive energy retailers. Each energy provider buys energy from the wholesale market (the generators) and then re-sells it to consumers (homeowners, renters, and businesses).

In most cases, the consumer, the homeowner, renter, or business, signs a contract with an energy provider for a specific energy plan. The basic energy plan details the rate class, the energy rate per kWh, the contract term length (6, 12, 24, 36 months), and other contract terms like cancellation fee policy.

What is energy choice?

Energy choice, also known as energy market deregulation, allows New York City business owners to select their energy supplier. New York City has been a deregulated market since May 1998.
