The New York PSC will require door-to-door and telephone sales of energy services to include independent third-party verification of those sales, the PSC said in a press release yesterday.

The directive comes in the PSC's proceeding reviewing the retail market. A final written order was not immediately available.

The news release suggested that this requirement will apply to residential and small commercial customers, but absent a final order, we do not aver to its applicability.

Additional directives issued by the PSC include a rate cap on ESCO prices to certain customers, and a requirement for ESCOs to file historic pricing, see our related stories today for more:
