Defeated a Central Hudson Rate Hike

In June 2015, we defeated Central Hudson’s proposed 17% increase in the basic service charge, a regressive flat fee charged monthly no matter how much energy a customer uses. Through marching on Central Hudson, testifying before the Public Service Commission, speaking to the media, and submitting public comments against the increase, our members’ voices were heard.

Over the course of the year, we also helped over 50 households prevent or reverse shutoffs by Central Hudson.
