In response to the Public Service Commission’s (Commission) Order Directing Energy Efficiency and Building Electrification Proposals, issued on July 20, 2023, in the above-captioned cases, the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority and the State’s large electric and gas utilities (collectively, the Utilities), filed proposals on November 1, 2023. These proposals, which address years 2026 through 2030, contain, among other things, funding targeting the electrification of space and water heating for New York’s building stock, including homes and buildings in the Low- to Moderate-Income (LMI) market segment.
The Department of Public Service is interested in further exploring areas that the Commission should consider in the development of an LMI energy efficiency and building electrification strategy, including, but not limited to, addressing energy affordability and consumer protections, the appropriate leveraging of various funding sources and programmatic offerings, and approaches to customer outreach and education.
The Utilities include Central Hudson Gas & Electric Corporation, Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc., KeySpan Gas East Corporation, The Brooklyn Union Gas Company, National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation, New York State Electric & Gas Corporation, Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation d/b/a National Grid, Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc., and Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation.
