The New York utilities have begun posting 12-month trailing average utility supply rates, which are to be used as a price cap for certain ESCO offers

As previously reported by EnergyChoiceMatters.com, in the New York PSC's reset order, one of the compliant products ESCOs may continue to offer mass market customers is a fixed rate commodity product that is priced at no more than 5% greater than the trailing 12-month average utility supply rate

The PSC ordered that, "Electric and gas distribution utilities that have tariffed provisions providing for retail access shall publish on their websites 12-month trailing average utility supply rates within 15 days of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 each year, starting with a filing within 15 days of December 31, 2019, for each mass-market service class and for each mass-market customer grouping that receives different supply rates based on the applicable tariff. The published averages shall include all charges and credits that apply to full-service customer bills but would not apply to ESCO customer bills for the applicable service class and customer grouping."

As of publication time the National Grid utilities have posted their 12-month trailing average utility supply rates

For its gas rates, the National Grid LDCs have filed rates which are weather-normalized. For electricity, NiMo's rates are based on 12 month actual sales by Load Zone, Service Class weighted by their respective load profile.

The 12-month trailing average utility supply rates are as follows:
