- An '''Energy Service COmpany''' (ESCO) is a company other than the local utility company (["RG&E"] in the case of Rochester) which produces and sells energy to consumers. RG&E continues to provide the infrastructure for power distribution according to terms set by the ["New York State Public Service Commission"]. - - In 2007, Rochester consumers were given the opportunity to choose independent ESCOs rather than RG&E. To help clarify the changeover, the Chairwomen of the NYS Public Service Commission, ["Patricia L. Acampora"], issued the following statement: - - ''In the past, New Yorkers had no choice of who provided them with natural gas and electricity supply - it was the local utility. Well, things have changed. In recent years, New York State has been working to promote a more competitive energy industry where homeowners and businesses can shop for their energy providers much as they do for any other product purchase. Companies other than the local utility, called Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), can compete to provide you with your energy supply. - - Competition between Energy Service Companies, or ESCOs, gives customers greater choice and better value for your energy dollar in purchasing energy products and services. There are a number of pricing options available including fixed pricing to provide you with protection from price volatility; variable pricing, which is tied to the market price for energy and may fluctuate depending on supply and demand; indexed or capped pricing mechanisms, tailored to your individual needs. Other value-added benefits are available, including energy products produced using clean, renewable energy sources, appliance repair and service contracts, and other options. - - Your energy bill consists of two parts - supply and delivery. Energy supply constitutes roughly 50% of an electric bill and 60% of a gas bill. - - You can purchase supply from either an ESCO or from a utility. No matter what you choose to do, your electricity and gas will continue to be delivered through utility-owned wires and pipes. The Public Service Commission will continue to oversee the safety and reliability of the delivery system. The safety and reliability you've come to depend on won't change. For any electric or gas emergency, you will continue to call your utility even if an ESCO supplies your electricity or gas. Your consumer protections are guaranteed whether you purchase electricity and/or natural gas from an Energy Service Company (ESCO) or your utility.'' - - == Related Links == - - * [http://www.rge.com/UsageAndSafety/energysupplier/voiceyourchoice/default.html RG&E Voice Your Choice] - * [http://www.energyguide.com/finder/NYFinder.asp NY Power To Choose] - * [http://www.naesco.org/default.htm NAESCO: National Association of Energy Service Companies]	+ #redirect Energy Service Company
