Case 25-S-0741 - Proceeding on Motion of the Commission as to the Rates, Charges, Rules and Regulations of Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. for Steam Service.

A Joint Proposal was filed in the above-captioned proceeding on September 4, 2026. The signatories to the Joint Proposal are Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. (Con Edison), trial staff of the New York State Department of Public Service, the City of New York, Brooklyn Navy Cogeneration Partners, L.P., Consumer Power Advocates, New York Energy Consumers Council, Inc., UtiliSave, LLC, and the Utility Workers Union of America, Local 1-2, AFLCIO (collectively, the Signatory Parties). 

If the Joint Proposal’s terms are adopted by the Public Service Commission (Commission), they would establish a three-year rate plan for Con Edison’s steam business for the period between November 1, 2026, and October 31, 2029. Under the proposal, the annual revenue requirement increases would be shaped to reduce bill volatility, resulting in a $26.6 million increase in rate year 1, a $27.5 million increase in rate year 2, and a $28.5 million increase in rate year 3, and to reflect a 48% common equity ratio and a 9.50% return on equity.
