On billsafter the decision
RG&E is asking for about 220.2 million dollars more in annual electric revenue, a 36 percent delivery revenue increase that the company says would add 33.01 dollars a month to a typical residential bill. The PSC set temporary rates of a 4.0 percent annual revenue increase, about 25.9 million dollars, a 2.9 percent residential bill impact, effective June 1, 2026, while the case continues alongside NYSEG's companion filing. Confidential settlement talks among the parties in this joint proceeding resumed in September 2026, with no agreement reached yet.
What it means for your bill: RG&E customers are on temporary rates while the commission reviews a much larger permanent increase request.
