Local Power Companies Warn Customers of Higher Energy Bills Amid Soaring Supply Costs and Frigid Temperatures

Local power companies are alerting customers to expect higher energy bills this month, but they assert that they are not at fault. NYSEG, RG&E, and National Grid are responsible for delivering gas and electricity and billing customers for both delivery and supply costs.

The utilities only handle delivery charges, while the supply costs are set by energy generating companies and passed on to customers.

Even if thermostat settings remain unchanged, frigid wind chills below zero increase energy demands, contributing to rising costs over recent months.
