Bill > S08936

This bill requires electric utility corporations, energy services companies, and municipalities to provide customers with a detailed breakdown on their monthly bills, explaining how their payments are allocated. Specifically, these providers must itemize the portion of the bill that covers infrastructure costs, such as transmission, distribution, and maintenance, as well as any contributions, surcharges, or assessments directed to the New York Power Authority, which is a state-owned public power organization. Additionally, the breakdown must include amounts for other investments, surcharges, or fees determined by the Public Service Commission, which could encompass programs for renewable energy, energy efficiency, and other public policy initiatives. The Public Service Commission will establish uniform standards for how these breakdowns are presented to ensure clarity and consistency across all providers, and utilities will be allowed to include extra information to help customers understand these charges.
