Why Con Ed Bills Are So High and Who Qualifies for Relief
Published 4 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
The Trump administration’s $130 million purchase of a warehouse in Roxbury, New Jersey to convert into an ICE detention center is drawing opposition from local leaders who cite infrastructure limits and question the town’s ability to handle a facility of that size. Meanwhile, many New Yorkers are seeing unusually high Con Edison bills this winter, even without using more energy. Ian Donaldson of the Public Utility Law Project explains what is driving the spike and how the state’s Energy Affordability Program could lower monthly costs for eligible households.
