A 9438 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to price comparisons of prices charged by energy services companies

This bill requires energy services companies (ESCOs) to include clear, side-by-side price comparisons on customer bills. It mandates that each bill show the ESCO’s price for energy supply and delivery service compared to what the customer would pay if using their local utility or municipality, plus an itemized list of any extra energy products. Annual statements must also show whether the customer is saving money or paying more with the ESCO versus the local utility. These requirements apply to residential and small non-residential customers, and ESCOs must cover all compliance costs without passing them to customers.
