ConEd supply rate shown is sourced from the U.S. Energy Information Administration and updated monthly. Supplier rates are independently researched and updated monthly. Last updated: March 2026.
How it works
ConEd still delivers your electricity. But in New York, you can buy the electricity itself from a different supplier. The wires stay the same. The bill looks the same. The rate changes.
There are dozens of licensed retail energy suppliers in New York. Some offer fixed rates. Some offer green energy. Some are just cheaper than ConEd. We track them so you don't have to.
No truck. No appointment. No disruption. You switch on paper, your rate changes on your next bill. If you ever want to switch back, same process.
Why switch
The average NYC resident switching electricity suppliers saves $200-400 per year. Natural gas switching adds more. It takes 10 minutes. No truck, no outage, no interruption.
Several NYC suppliers offer 100% renewable electricity at rates that match or beat ConEd. You get the same reliable service. The energy sourced is wind and solar. The bill is lower or the same.
Most people switch for one reason. They stay for both.
Transparency
We're not ConEd. We're not a utility company or a broker. We're an independent guide that tracks the NYC energy market and explains it in plain English.
We make money when you switch to a lower-cost provider through our recommendations. We don't get paid to recommend providers. We only earn when the switch actually saves you money. We'll tell you when a deal isn't worth it.
If you switch and then switch back, that's fine. We'd rather you stay informed than stay with a provider that's not working for you.
Not a utility
We don't generate or deliver electricity.
Not affiliated with ConEd
Zero relationship with any utility.
Referral fee only
We earn when you save. That's it.
Clean energy
When you switch to a green energy supplier, your electricity is matched by renewable energy certificates (RECs). That means for every unit of energy you use, the supplier buys a unit from a wind farm or solar project somewhere in the grid.
The electrons in your outlet are the same electrons from the same grid. But your usage is offset by clean generation. It's how green energy works everywhere in the US.
Here's the part most people don't know: in New York right now, several renewable suppliers are pricing their energy at or below ConEd's standard rate. The premium for going green is sometimes zero.
We track which suppliers offer renewable options and what they cost. We only show you green options that are actually competitive.
RECs (Renewable Energy Certificates) are the standard mechanism for green energy accounting in deregulated markets. We'll always be clear about what "green energy" means and what it doesn't.
