Commercial Energy Management in the Lower Hudson Valley
Lower Hudson Valley is Con Edison territory inside NYISO Zone I — Dunwoodie. Con Edison delivers the power and maintains the wires whoever supplies it, so competitive supply carries no reliability consequence — only a lower price.
How Energy Buying Works in Lower Hudson Valley
Westchester is Con Edison territory but sits in NYISO Zone I rather than Zone J, and the price difference across that boundary is real — one of the few places in the country where moving a facility a few miles genuinely changes the wholesale cost of serving it. Corporate campuses in White Plains and along the Platinum Mile carry classic suburban office load: sharply peaked on weekday afternoons, near-idle at weekends. That low load factor is expensive on SC 9, and it is the first thing worth attacking, ahead of the supply rate.
New York opened to competition in 1998, but the terms are set territory by territory, not statewide. Con Edison's distribution rates, its default supply price and its rate schedules are all set independently of the other utilities in New York — which is why an offer that is genuinely competitive in one part of the state can be mediocre here. Everything on this page is scoped to Con Edison specifically.
Con Edison Commercial Rates
Which schedule you are on sets the shape of the bill before a single kilowatt-hour is priced.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| SC 2 — General Small | commercial accounts without demand metering |
| SC 9 — General Large | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| SC 9 Rate II | time-of-day service for larger accounts |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
