ALBANY, NY (April 8, 2025) — The New York State Public Service Commission will hold virtual public statement hearings on Tuesday, April 8, and Wednesday, April 9, 2025, to address proposed changes in Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc.’s electric and gas delivery rates and practices.
Con Edison filed amendments to its electric and gas tariff schedules on January 31, 2025, proposing to increase its annual electric delivery revenues by approximately $1.6 billion, an 11.4 percent increase in total revenues or 18.0 percent in base delivery revenues, and its natural gas delivery revenues by approximately $440 million, a 19.1 percent increase in total revenues or 25.1 percent in base delivery revenues, for the 12-month period ending December 31, 2026. The actual bill impacts will vary based on revenue allocation and rate design.
Con Edison stated that the electric increase will support demand growth, particularly with clean energy options and substation investments, maintain reliability through feeder replacements, and enhance system resiliency. The gas increase aims to maintain gas system safety, reduce methane emissions, improve customer outreach and accessibility, enhance customer support, and promote energy efficiency programs. The company identified local property taxes, new infrastructure investments, and operating expenses as primary drivers for the electric revenue increase, while operating expenses, depreciation, new infrastructure, and return on equity drive the gas revenue increase.
The hearings, presided over by Administrative Law Judges James A. Costello, Tara A. Kersey, and Nicholas Planty, are scheduled as follows: Tuesday, April 8, at 1:00 p.m. (Access Code: 2831 112 4529, Password: Apr8-1pm) and 5:30 p.m. (Access Code: 2830 387 4809, Password: Apr8-530pm); and Wednesday, April 9, at 1:00 p.m. (Access Code: 2827 268 0674, Password: April9-1pm) and 5:30 p.m. (Access Code: 2820 054 8649, Password: April9-530pm).
