New York state directs utilities to work with consumers

Gov. Hochul’s office says the state has sent letters to all of New York’s major electric and gas utilities.

She’s requiring them to increase outreach and education efforts on the rise in energy supply prices as a result of the rising cost of natural gas and the impact it will have on your bills.

There is also an enhanced statewide campaign aimed at connecting low-income customers to millions of dollars in aid available.
