Following Approval Of Gas Utility’s Rate Case – Senators Skoufis, Mayer Call for Overhaul Of Failed Public Service Commission
Following the “Public Service Commission’s (PSC) most recent approval of astronomical increases in electric and gas rates for the next three years for Orange & Rockland (O&R) ratepayers, including a 10.9% gas bill increase next year, Senator James Skoufis (D-Orange County) and Senator Shelley Mayer (D-Westchester) joined colleagues in calling for an immediate overhaul of the embattled commission. The push follows a March 20, 2025 announcement in which the PSC – once again – patted itself on the back from agreeing to O&R delivery rates that are “much less than initially requested.”
Both senators stated that the NYPSC continues to disregard ratepayers and has an “inability to stop predatory increases.”
