A federal appellate judge stayed a NYPSC order that prohibits most energy service companies (ESCOs) from serving low-income customers.

The New York Public Service Commission (NYPSC) enacted consumer protection standards for distributed energy resource (DER) suppliers.

The NYPSC issued a procedural order to begin implementing its 2016 ruling prohibiting energy service companies from enrolling new low-income customers.

A New York appellate judge blocked the NYPSC from limiting energy service companies’ ability to contract with low-income people in the state.

The NYPSC rejected requests to halt its ongoing investigation into the pricing practices of energy service companies (ESCOs).

Eighteen years after opening retail electric and gas choice, the New York Public Service Commission concluded that the initiative has failed.

The National Energy Marketers Association has asked for a rehearing of New York regulators’ moratorium on the enrollment of low-income customers by energy service companies.

The moratorium is the result of a NYPSC order requiring ESCOs to guarantee that low-income consumers pay no more than if they were a utility customer.
