Environmental Disclosure

Your electricity supplier is required by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to provide you with periodic environmental disclosure information on fuel sources and air emissions for the electricity supply purchased on your behalf.

The information provided in the charts below is the most recent data (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023) provided by the PSC and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

• If you receive your electricity supply from NYSEG, your environmental disclosure information is published periodically below and in EnergyLines, NYSEG's bill insert.
• If you receive your electricity supply from a supplier other than NYSEG and your supplier’s charges are included in your NYSEG bill, your supplier’s environmental disclosure is posted below. 
• If you buy electricity from a supplier other than NYSEG, and are billed directly by your supplier, you should receive environmental disclosure information from your supplier.

For more information on environmental disclosure, please contact the New York Public Service Commission at 888.Ask.PSC1 (888.275.7721) or the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority at 866.NYSERDA (866.697.3732).

Please note: Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are key pollutants that contribute to acid rain and smog, and carbon dioxide, contributes to global climate change. Depending on fuel source, size, and location, the generation of electricity may also result in other public health, environmental, and socio-economic impacts not disclosed above.

 

ESCO environmental disclosure statements

 

Energy services companies (ESCOs) selling electricity are required to provide customers with periodic environmental disclosure statements. These statements provide information on the types of fuels used to generate electricity, air emissions resulting from generating electricity, and a comparison of those emissions to a statewide average. This information enables customers, if they choose, to select an electricity supplier based on environmental quality and resource diversity, a key desired outcome of the Environmental Disclosure Program (EDP).
