Most changes since April 2010 were incremental. Notable changes include NYSEG residential migration increasing from 15.6% of accounts to 19.4% from April 2010 through December 2010, representing a net of nearly 9,000 new residential customers on competitive supply.

Sizable net growth, in terms of migrated residential accounts, was also seen at Consolidated Edison (7,800), KeySpan Long Island (8,700), and KeySpan New York (11,200) during the same period, although the impact on the migration percentage was less considerable given the large customer bases of each.
