New York Electricity Rate Increases: Protecting Yourself from ConEd & National Grid

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

New York residents have watched their electric bills skyrocket as the state's major utility companies continually file for massive rate hikes. ConEdison, National Grid, and NYSEG have consistently pushed for higher delivery and transmission charges to fund grid modernization and transition away from fossil fuels.

01

The Endless Cycle of Delivery Charges

Even if you cut back on your personal energy usage, you will still see your bill increase. Why? Because New York utilities are drastically increasing the fixed "delivery" fees. You are essentially paying more money just to stay connected to their aging infrastructure.

02

Solar as an Inflation Hedge

When you buy utility power, you are renting energy. When you install solar with SunBeam Innovations, you take ownership of your power production. A zero-down solar loan locks in a fixed monthly payment for the next 25 years. While your neighbors suffer through annual ConEd rate increases, your energy costs remain completely immune to inflation.
