your local utility handles all electricity delivery in Troy — the physical infrastructure, meter reading, and outage response. Under the deregulated model regulated by the New York Public Service Commission (PSC), your utility (your local utility) is separate from your supplier. Your choice of ESCO (Energy Service Company) only affects who bills you for the supply portion and at what rate.

Compare plans from 20 PSC-certified providers, choose a ESCO (Energy Service Company), and enroll online or by phone. The new supplier coordinates the transition with your local utility automatically. The switch typically completes within 1–2 billing cycles with no service interruption — no technician visit or equipment changes required. Your power stays on throughout the entire process.
