New York A00878 regulates energy services companies (ESCOs) by restricting their ability to enroll customers unless specific conditions are met.

New York A00878 amends the public service law to impose conditions on energy services companies (ESCOs) when enrolling new or renewing existing residential or small non-residential customers for gas or electric service. ESCOs can only enroll customers if the enrollment contract guarantees savings over the utility price, the enrollment is for a fixed-rate commodity product priced at no more than five percent greater than the trailing twelve-month average utility supply rate, or the enrollment is for a renewably sourced electric commodity product with a renewable mix at least fifty percent.
