NYSEG and RG&E filed amendments to their electric and gas tariff schedules on June 30, 2025, proposing to increase their annual electric and gas delivery revenues for the 12-month period ending April 30, 2027. NYSEG proposes to increase its electric delivery revenues by approximately $464.4 million (an 18.4 percent increase in total revenues or 35.0 percent increase in base delivery revenues), and its natural gas delivery revenues by approximately $93 million (al 22.1 percent increase in total revenues or 39.4 percent increase in base delivery revenues). RG&E proposes to increase its electric delivery revenues by approximately $220.2 million (a 19.8 percent increase in total revenues or 36.0 percent increase in base delivery revenues), and its natural gas delivery revenues by approximately $72.9 million (a 17.1 percent increase in total revenues or 32.0 percent increase in base delivery revenues). The actual bill impacts of these proposed changes on any particular customer class will vary based upon revenue allocation and rate design.
The Companies state that their proposed electric and gas delivery revenue increases would support investments to meet growing energy demand across New York and to upgrade aging infrastructure and systems to improve reliability and customer service. The Companies indicate that the primary drivers of the requested electric delivery revenue increases are increased storm and vegetation management expense, increased capital investments to address aging infrastructure and to increase capacity, information technology upgrades, and incremental operations and maintenance expense. The Companies state that the primary drivers of the requested gas delivery revenue increases include prevailing wage requirements, federal and state pipeline safety mandates requiring system investments and upgrades, and costs to meet clean energy goals.
As part of the Companies’ rate filings, they propose to close the following walk-in offices:
NYSEG’s Auburn office located at 73 Wright Circle, Auburn, NY 13021
NYSEG’s Ithaca office located at 1387 Dryden Road, Ithaca, NY 14850
NYSEG’s Oneonta office located at 65 Country Club Road, Oneonta, NY 13820
