National Grid Files Plan to Build a Better Energy Future for Downstate New York

This week (April 28), National Grid filed its rate proposals to build a better energy future with the New York State Public Service Commission that will enable critical investments to support the state's clean energy goals, ensure the reliability and safe operation of the distribution networks and expand and enhance programs that support the company's 1.9 million customers in New York City and on Long Island.

National Grid's plan for the future includes targeted investments and programs that will help drive down emissions, strengthen the safe delivery of energy, increase energy efficiency offerings and other programs to help customers reduce natural gas usage and support connecting renewable energy projects to the networks. In addition, the plan will improve the overall customer experience with adoption of new technology to provide more self-service options, increase the number of consumer advocates to assist the most vulnerable customers, as well as eliminate credit card fees for residential bill payments -- providing immediate customer savings.

"Prioritizing the energy needs of our customers is vital, and nothing is more important than the safe operation of our networks as we look for new ways of delivering energy for all our customers," said Philip DeCicco, Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Regulatory, National Grid New York. "We have identified essential investments in this rate proposal and we will ensure no customer is left behind in their access to reliable and affordable energy as we continue on the clean energy transition."
