Latest ESCO News

Since 2016, when the Town enrolled all residents/small businesses into the Westchester Power ESCO program, Ken Stahn of the CGCA has been monitoring the variable rates of Con Ed versus the fixed rate of the ESCO. For the last 19 months, Ella Preiser of the CGCA has been preparing tables showing the differences in those rates.

During this contract period, Con Ed rates were consistently lower than the $0.07709 fixed rate agreed to by Mr Feiner with the ESCO. The Town has now signed a new 18 month contract with Westchester Power - Sustainable Westchester for a "green program" starting Jan. 1, 2021. Everyone who did not OPT-OUT of the current program will be enrolled in the new “green program”. Even though many residents wanted an OPT-IN choice instead of having to waste time and money with an order to OPT-OUT, the Town went ahead with the OPT-OUT program.

In response to numerous inquiries, here is information on how to “OPT-OUT” of the current contract with Westchester Power-Constellation.

Call Westchester Power (not Con Ed) at (914) 242-4725 or send an email to:
westchesterpower@sustainablewestchester.org

Be ready to give your Con Ed account # and your ESCO-Constellation reference #, if requested. It may take 1 or 2 billing cycles. According to Paul Feiner and Westchester Power, if you have already OPTED OUT of the current contract, you will NOT be enrolled in the new green contract.

Check your January & February 2021 bills to make sure you are still with Con Ed for your electric supply.

After you receive confirmation that you are out of the ESCO program, you can contact Con Ed to put a block on your account that will not allow any changes without your authorization.

Telephone # 1-800-752-6633 or go to the Con Ed Website: www.coned.com and go to “Contact Us” to send an email.
