New Yorkers can choose their supplier of electricity and natural gas and are no longer forced to buy their energy from their utility. Known as Energy Service Companies (ESCO), these energy suppliers increase competition and therefore increase efficiency and innovation which will decrease costs and increase value for each dollar consumers spend on energy.
Customer education is crucial for the success of this competitive energy market. Below are some of the ESCOs which you can choose from in New York State.
