As we begin to transition to autumn, I’m proud to share some exciting updates about the work we’re doing together in Orange County....

Central Hudson didn’t get the full rate hike they wanted last year so they applied for another and, earlier this month, the Public Service Commission rubber-stamped their request. This will increase costs for ratepayers over the next three years, and generate an estimated $96 million in profit for Central Hudson. ...
