Westchester Power program goes dark

Conflicting explanations for opt-out energy initiative’s sudden demise

By JEFF MORRIS

The Westchester Power program of Sustainable Westchester is no more. The reasons for that are in dispute.

According to Sustainable Westchester, it “made the difficult but necessary decision to discontinue the program when the current contract concludes at the end of November. This decision comes as New York implements new rules that govern community energy programs statewide, which impact all Community Choice Aggregation administrators and their energy suppliers. Sustainable Westchester determined that continuing the program under the current regulatory framework is not feasible.”

But according to a spokesman for the state Department of Public Service, which regulates such programs and is the parent of the Public Service Commission, “There were no new rules adopted in 2025 that impacted Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs. The Commission adopted enhancements to the CCA program’s outreach and education programs in November 2024.” READ MORE AT Westchester Power program goes dark
