Pierce opposes Con Edison rate increases
At the meeting, which also honored Black History Month, Legislator Erika Pierce (D- Bedford, Lewisboro, Mount Kisco, North Salem, Pound Ridge, Somers) notified the board that she will be submitting a resolution opposing Con Edison’s proposal to increase gas and electric rates in Westchester starting in January 2026.
Con Edison, which serves more than 9 million people in Westchester County and New York City, filed a rate increase proposal in late January with the New York State Public Service Commission.
If approved, rates for residential customers would increase an average electric bill by 11.4 percent and an average gas bill by 13.3 percent, according to Con Edison.
