New York electricity rates average 20–25¢/kWh, well above the national average, due to aging infrastructure, high demand density, delivery surcharges, and clean energy mandates. Con Edison customers in NYC often pay even more. These high rates make bill verification especially worthwhile.
Does Utility Check support Con Edison and other NY utilities?
Yes. Utility Check supports Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, Central Hudson, Orange & Rockland, and PSEG Long Island. We verify supply charges, delivery charges, and the various surcharges that appear on New York utility bills.
What is the difference between supply and delivery charges in New York?
New York bills separate supply charges (the cost of generating electricity) from delivery charges (the cost of transmitting it to your home). Both components have their own rates and surcharges. Utility Check verifies both independently to ensure accuracy.
How can I verify my New York electricity bill?
Upload your bill to Utility Check. We recalculate supply charges, delivery charges, system benefit charges, and all applicable surcharges. New York bills are complex — our verification ensures every line item is calculated correctly.
