Around the 5th of each month I post comparisons Con Ed rates vs. the ESCO rates. Once again Con Ed rates are lower. You can opt out if you would like. Con Ed rates can go up or down each month. The ESCO rates stay the same until October, 2024. In recent months Con Ed rates have been lower than the ESCO rates. However, in previous years Con Ed rates were higher during some months. There are no guarantees that you will do better or worst if you stay with the program or opt out.

Greenburgh Residential Electricity Supply Rate Comparison - September 2023

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 - September 2023 Rate Comparison

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

September 2023 Residential Rates

Below is an approximate electricity cost comparison for a hypothetical Greenburgh resident in September who consumed 500 kWh of electricity for the month

• For a Greenburgh resident on the ConEd supply, that customer would have been charged roughly $43.68 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
