Repeals the authority for sales of electricity and gas by entities other than electric or natural gas distribution companies; repealer
This bill repeals two sections of New York's Public Service Law that previously allowed energy service companies (ESCOs) to sell electricity and natural gas directly to customers. It directly affects ESCOs, ending their legal authority to operate as independent energy sellers outside of regulated utility companies. The key mechanism is the removal of these specific law sections, which would prevent non-utility entities from offering electricity or gas sales. This change would require ESCOs to either transition to utility partnerships or exit the market, shifting energy sales back to traditional distribution companies.
