ESCO Probably Costing You Money Instead Of Saving It--From Ella Preiser, Communications Administrator, Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations
A Message to All: At this time when so many people are out of work and small business owners are concerned about their survival, some Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations (CGCA) representatives are deeply troubled that the Greenburgh Town Board has not taken the opportunity to inform people about a possible way to save some money.
The CGCA urges you to check your monthly Con Edison bill. If the bill indicates your electricity supplier is Constellation and your supply cost is 7.709¢ per kWh, you were probably enrolled in this ESCO (starting January 2019) by the Greenburgh Town Board. If enrolled, you have been paying considerably more than those of us who “opted out” of this ESCO. Please review the attached table which provides information on the kWh costs per billing cycle for seven different property owners who did “opt out.” These figures were taken from actual Con Edison bills. The first five properties are residences. Properties #6 and #7 are small businesses.
For anyone who isn’t familiar with the “history” of the Town’s involvement with this ESCO, attached is information you may find helpful. At the very least, skip to the last lines of the document below which illustrates the cost savings ($37.15 and $115.53) for a single month for two different properties. Paying the higher price could be very costly over the two-year contract.
The Greenburgh Town Board is not alone. Twenty-six other Westchester municipalities participate in this CCA. The concept was good but it is not working to the advantage of electricity users. The ESCO named Constellation is raking in millions of dollars from residents and small business owners.

Predictable. Opted out long long long ago.
