Environmental Disclosure

Your electricity supplier is required by the New York State Public Service Commission (PSC) to provide you with periodic environmental disclosure information on fuel sources and air emissions for the electricity supply purchased on your behalf.

The information provided in the charts below is the most recent data provided by the PSC and the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA).

  • If you receive your electricity supply from NYSEG, your environmental disclosure information is published periodically below and in EnergyLines, NYSEG's bill insert.
  • If you receive your electricity supply from a supplier other than NYSEG and your supplier’s charges are included in your NYSEG bill, your supplier’s environmental disclosure is published periodically as a separate bill insert with your NYSEG bill and is posted here. 
  • If you buy electricity from a supplier other than NYSEG, and are billed directly by your supplier, you should receive environmental disclosure information from your supplier.

For more information on environmental disclosure, please contact the New York Public Service Commission at 888.Ask.PSC1 (888.275.7721) or the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority at 866.NYSERDA (866.697.3732).

A chart showing the air emissions relative to the New York State average. Sulfur Dioxide is 105% of the average, Nitrogen oxide is 105% of the average, and Carbon Dioxide is 104% of average
 

Please note: Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are key pollutants that contribute to acid rain and smog, and carbon dioxide, contributes to global climate change. Depending on fuel source, size, and location, the generation of electricity may also result in other public health, environmental, and socio-economic impacts not disclosed above.
