To the Editor:
Starting early next year, the current gas and electric rate cases will determine how much you pay for utilities each month in the Con Edison territory. While my colleagues and I are pushing hard to lower costs, the Public Service Commission needs to hear directly from residents about their experiences with Con Edison and the impact of rate increases on their household finances. The more personal testimony they hear, the better.
If you missed the public statement hearings that took place earlier this month, or even if you did testify, please know that you can also provide written testimony anytime before Friday, November 21, 2025. Whether you testify in person or not, you are also strongly encouraged to submit written testimony in these cases. Click here to post a comment in the gas case and here to post a comment in the electric case.
Letters with comments may also be sent directly to Hon. Michelle L. Phillips, Secretary, Public Service Commission, 3 Empire State Plaza, Albany, NY 12223-1350. You should include the case number 25-E-0072 for the electric case and 25-G-0073 for the gas case.
Furthermore, we encourage you to share your comments over the phone by calling the PSC’s Opinion Line at 1-800-335-2120.
Lastly, to answer questions and help residents prepare to testify in cases such as these, I co-hosted a webinar with the Public Utility Law Project, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, and my colleagues in Assembly Districts 92 and 93, Assemblymembers MaryJane Shimsky and Chris Burdick. The webinar can be viewed on my Facebook page, www.facebook.com/AMDanaLevenberg, and on my YouTube page, www.youtube.com/@OfficeofDanaLevenberg.
Sincerely,
Dana Levenberg
Member of Assembly, 95th District
