New York State Power To Choose
This directory contains information on Energy Services Companies (ESCOs) that have meet the Commission's and utility requirements to provide energy supply for residential electricity or natural gas and other services in New York. Power to Choose provides tools to locate, view, and save/print residential offers based on zip code and service type.

"CONSUMER ADVISORY: The Public Service Commission has been critical of certain Energy Services Companies, or ESCOs, particularly regarding prices. The Commission is considering whether the retail access market for energy commodity is working properly, or if it should be revised. This website allows consumers to compare the various ESCO products on a side-by-side basis, and against the local utility's supply costs. The website is not an endorsement of any ESCO or utility. The information offered on this website is self-reported by each ESCO and has not been audited for accuracy. Use caution in evaluating energy offers. The posted rates are guaranteed only for the specified period. The rate of a variable product is generally available for the first month, after which an ESCO could potentially increase the rate significantly. Careful shopping, and the use of the "historical pricing" feature, which graphically shows the ESCO's historic pricing patterns compared to the incumbent utility, can help to identify which ESCO, if any, are more likely to provide commodity supply price savings compared to your local utility."
