ISSUE:
- NYPA
- Affordable Energy
My colleagues and I in Western New York and the Southern Tier called on NYPA to reconsider disastrous rate hikes that would have been detrimental to communities and businesses in our districts that rely on low cost power. The proposed increases would have only led to more businesses closing their doors and more New Yorkers fleeing for more affordable states. Today’s decision by the Governor to suspend the rate hike is welcome news for residents who are struggling to make ends meet amidst already soaring energy costs.
