S 4943 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides a one hundred dollar per day credit to customers of electric and gas corporations for power outages of twenty-four hours or more

This bill requires electric and gas utility companies in New York to provide customers with a $100 credit for each 24-hour period their power is out for 24 hours or more. It directly affects residential and commercial customers who experience extended outages. The credit is automatically applied to the customer's future bills, reducing charges until the credit amount is fully used, without requiring customers to request it or pay upfront. The credit applies only to outages exceeding one full day and cannot be paid out as cash.
