How New York utilities actually divide up
The state's utility map reads like its geography. Downstate, the five boroughs and Westchester, is Con Edison country for electricity, with natural gas split between Con Edison and National Grid depending on the borough: Manhattan, the Bronx and northern Queens hook up differently than Brooklyn, southern Queens and Staten Island. Upstate, National Grid carries most cities, and Rochester runs on RG&E. Two houses on the same street never differ here the way they do in Texas, but two boroughs do.
New York technically lets households buy their electricity supply from a retail company (an ESCO), but rules adopted in 2019 sharply limit those offers, and most homes simply take supply from the utility. Practically: find your territory utility, set up service with it, and treat anything ESCO-shaped as optional fine print rather than a moving-day requirement.
New York utility questions, answered
Who is my electric company in New York?
Downstate it's almost always Con Edison; upstate it's mostly National Grid, with Rochester on RG&E. The utility is fixed by territory, there's no picking between them, so the whole question is which territory your address sits in. The lookup answers that in one step.
Why are there two gas companies in New York City?
Because the boroughs genuinely split: Con Edison delivers gas in Manhattan, the Bronx and parts of Queens, while National Grid delivers in Brooklyn, Staten Island and the rest of Queens. Same city, different pipes. Your exact address, not your borough's reputation, decides which one you set up with.
Can I choose my electricity supplier in New York?
Technically yes, New York allows retail supply companies called ESCOs, but state rules since 2019 restrict what they can offer residents, and most households stay with the utility's own supply. Your delivery utility, outage line and hookup process are the same either way.
How do I find all the utility providers for a New York address?
Use the address lookup on this page. It resolves your exact address against utility territory data and returns your electric, gas, water and sewer providers with contact details. More dependable than any city-level summary, including ours.
