Understanding Electric Bill Charges - February 2026

You might be experiencing higher than normal bills due to the significant uptick in supply prices that are not in NYSEG’s scope of control.

Your energy use affects both your supply and delivery charges because your usage is combined with the rates to determine your total costs. While your delivery rate stays the same for longer periods and is set by the PSC, your supply rate varies regularly depending on market demand.

Supply prices have risen over the past year due to increasing consumption of electricity and natural gas. With the colder-than-normal weather we’re experiencing this winter, demand is climbing even higher and pushing supply prices up. If NYSEG purchases energy on your behalf (always with nomarkups), you may have noticed that supply rates have increased. For example, on January 30, 2026, electricity supply rates were 44% higher than on the same day last year. This means that even if your electricity or natural gas use stayed the same, your total charge is likely higher this year.

You can compare supply rate costs by viewing your billing history, whereas NYSEG purchased on your behalf or another energy service company (ESCO) does it for you.
