Oral Testimony by Invitation Only.

The purpose of this hearing is to examine the various issues related to the State’s low-cost electricity programs. New York State administers several subsidized power programs in order to provide incentives to businesses and not-for-profits to create and retain jobs. The Committees will use this opportunity to gather information on the effectiveness and sustainability of these programs, and the needed duration of any one or all of these offered programs.

There exist a number of various programs and electric rate discount opportunities for various customers in all areas of the state. This hearing, the third in a series on the subject of New York State’s low cost power programs, will examine the need for low cost energy for businesses and not-for-profits operating in New York State and will hear testimony from current and past recipients of low cost power.

Oral testimony will be accepted by invitation only. Ten copies of any prepared testimony should be submitted at the hearing registration desk. The Committees would appreciate advance receipt of prepared statements. Written testimony will also be accepted and may be sent to the contact person listed on the reply form and/or may be submitted at the hearing registration desk.
