Con Ed Wants to Raise Utility Rates Help Us Fight This by Providing Online Testimony

Con Edison wants to increase its electricity rates by 11.2 percent and gas rates by 18.2 percent beginning next year. But you can help us put a stop to this!

Attend one of the online public hearings before New York State’s Public Service Commission and share your story about how the high costs of utilities – gas and electric – are affecting you. Talk about your utility debt and/or how the current costs are impacting you and your household. In fact, we are offering a Testifying at a Public Hearing 101 training session at 7:00 PM on Monday, March 28 to help you prepare for this. RSVP here.

The following are the dates and times of the online hearings. You need to register at least 24 hours in advance. You can learn more about this issue, how to register, and how to participate by downloading this document (PDF).
 
Tuesday, March 22: Hearings at 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM
 
Tuesday, March 29: Hearings at 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM
 
Thursday, March 31: Hearings at 1:00 PM & 5:00 PM
 
If you don’t speak up, you will be paying that much more for your utilities next year. Register to participate today.
