On billsafter the decision
NYSEG is asking the PSC for about 464.4 million dollars more in annual electric revenue for the rate year ending April 30, 2027, a 35 percent jump in delivery revenue that the company says would add 33.12 dollars a month to a typical residential bill using 600 kWh. The Commission set temporary rates far below that request, a 3.7 percent electric revenue increase, in effect since June 1, 2026, while evidentiary hearings ran through February and March 2026. The case file has grown to more than 10,300 transcript pages and 1,200 exhibits, and confidential settlement talks between NYSEG and other parties resumed in September 2026 with no agreement reached yet.
What it means for your bill: NYSEG customers are paying a small temporary increase while regulators decide on a much larger rate request; the final number could still change substantially.
