Con Ed rates continue to be lower than the ESCO Greenburgh residents have been enrolled in. You can opt out by contacting Sustainable Westchester or by e mailing me at pfeiner@greenburghny.com. Con Ed rates have been lower the entire year than the ESCO rates. In past years there have been months when the ESCO rates were lower.  Every resident is enrolled in the ESCO unless they opt out. Con Ed rates can go up or down each month. The ESCO rates are fixed (can't go up or down) till October, 2024. The ESCO purchases green energy which is good for the environment. Greenburgh is part of a group of over two dozen municipalities that participate in Sustainable Westchester's ESCO.

Westchester Power vs. Con Edison

Westchester Power Program Background

The Town of Greenburgh participates in a Community Energy Program known as Westchester Power. This electricity supply program is managed by the local nonprofit Sustainable Westchester on behalf of the 29 participating municipalities in Westchester County. The program empowers the county and its residents to actively work towards a vision for a healthy and sustainable future by supporting renewable energy. Residents benefit from the fixed price program model that provides cost control assurance on their electric supply charges.

Westchester Power Contract - August 2023 Rate Comparison

The Westchester Power program offers two supply options for 100% Renewable and Standard. These rates are fixed until 10/31/2024.

August 2023 Residential Rates

• For a Greenburgh resident on the ConEd supply, that customer would have been charged roughly $46.45 electricity supply

• For customers enrolled in Westchester Power under the 100% Renewable fixed rate, the charge would have been roughly $75.65
• All Westchester Power Standard user’s charge would have been $66.80
