How Pylon lowers your New York electric bill
New York (NY) opened residential electricity supply to competition in 1996, with the rollout phasing in through 2001. You can choose any licensed competitive supplier (called an ESCO, Energy Service Company) instead of staying on your utility's tariff supply rate.
Your utility (Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, or Orange & Rockland) still delivers power and sends your monthly bill. That never changes.
Your utility's tariff supply rate is the default if you do not pick a competitive ESCO. Competing ESCOs can often offer lower fixed rates than that default..
We make this simple by automatically switching you to the best rate when there is one available.

FAQ Section
Still HaveA Question?
Yes. New York has had competitive electricity supply since 1996, with full rollout completed by 2001. Competitive suppliers are called ESCOs (Energy Service Companies). You can pick any licensed ESCO or stay on your utility's tariff supply. Pylon makes the choice automatic by monitoring every available ESCO rate and enrolling you in the cheapest one.
Yes. Pylon serves customers across all six New York investor-owned utility territories, from Con Edison in New York City to National Grid upstate, plus NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, and Orange & Rockland.
Pylon serves DC, DE, IL, MA, ME, NH, NJ, NY, OH, and PA. If you move within those states, just email us your new address and account number.
Log into your utility account and look under account details or check a recent bill. It's printed on your electric bill.
Energy suppliers compete for customers in certain states. Pylon monitors all available supplier rates and enrolls you in the lowest one, the same rates available to anyone, just automatically found for you.
We only work with licensed, vetted energy suppliers approved by your state's utility commission. These suppliers are required to meet strict standards and are monitored for fair practices.
Pylon works differently than a comparison site. Instead of asking you to pick from a list of rates, we automatically find and secure the best available electricity supplier rate in your area on your behalf. You don't need to evaluate options or constantly be returning to shop and switch rates. We handle it and notify you when a switch is made. The electricity supplier rates available in your area change frequently, and Pylon monitors them continuously so you're always on the best one.
No, Pylon changes your supplier at your next meter date. Your utility continues to deliver the electricity as usual.
After a new rate is submitted, you'll receive an email with your plan's details (rate, supplier, duration), and your service will continue without any interruption. You'll still receive the same bill from your utility.
This varies by utility, but typically you'll see the change within 1-2 billing cycles.
Changing your electricity provider back to your utility is simple. You can switch back at any time, but we recommend you wait for your supplier term to end if there are early termination fees in the contract.
When you secure a new supply rate, an energy supplier gets a new customer. They pay us a referral fee from their marketing budget. No hidden costs, no credit cards, no fees. It's one of the easiest ways to lower your electric bill without changing anything about how your electricity works.
No worries! If you move, your contract will automatically end without any fees. If you'd like to continue service at your new address, simply email [email protected] with your new account number and address.
Just shoot us an email to [email protected]. You can usually expect a response within 1-2 business days.
