The New York Public Service Commission (PSC) agrees with IDT Energy that competition is good for consumers of energy. As opposed to monopolies and regulators who decide how to meet the energy needs of consumers and who set prices, deregulation and competition increase efficiency, inspire innovation and creativity, and provide value for customers.
According to the Department of Public Service in a report on the condition of wholesale and retail competitive energy markets it was clear that New York’s competitive energy markets were increasing efficiencies and keeping prices down.
To quote the chairman of the New York State Public Service Commission, William M. Flynn:
“The one-size-fits-all approach that traditional utility regulation offered is insufficient to meet the diverse needs and demands of today’s customers. Competition creates customer choice, which suppresses prices and forces market participants to innovate as customers shop for better deals. In the end, competition puts customers in the driver’s seat. From my perspective, that’s where they belong.”
IDT Energy is an energy service provider (ESCO) which sells consumers electricity and natural gas, while the local utilities continue to deliver energy through their infrastructure to your home. Competition among the various ESCOs means the consumer should compare what the different ESCOs offer and pick the ESCO which is best suited to meet their needs. IDT Energy invites you to discover why we believe you will be happy with our prices, service and special programs such as the option to purchase green energy or getting special deals on homeowners and car insurance.
