Watch the edges

City water and sewer stop at the Troy line. Cross into Brunswick, North Greenbush, or the Wynantskill hamlet and you may be on a separate water district or a private well, so an address a few blocks past the border can look nothing like one inside it.

Troy electricity. Wires vs. the plan

How electricity works in Troy and beyond

There isn't one single electric company, by design. Troy is in a retail-choice market: one utility owns the wires, and you separately choose who sells you the power plan.

Moving to Troy: set up in this order

Moving into a Troy walk-up in the Osgood or Little Italy blocks? Here's the short list to run before your first night, starting with the lookup.

  1. Lock in electricity (retail plan). Do this before move-in; National Grid NY energizes after the plan is set. Watch edges if you're in a subdivided Lansingburgh rowhouse or near the North Greenbush line.
  2. Set up National Grid if the home uses gas. Many newer Troy builds never need a gas account.
  3. Start water (and sewer/trash) service. The lookup lists City of Troy (and any separate sewer/trash) for your Troy block.
  4. Internet last, but order it early. Check which ISPs reach your exact Troy address.

Troy utility questions, answered

Who's the utility company in Troy, NY?

For electricity and natural gas, it's National Grid. The delivery utility at addresses across Troy. Water and sewer are handled by the City of Troy itself, a municipal service the city owns and runs. So a typical Troy home deals with National Grid on the energy side and City Hall on the water side. Run your address through the lookup to confirm what applies to your specific place.

Can I choose my electricity supplier in Troy?

Technically yes. New York lets you buy your electric supply from a retail company (an ESCO) instead of National Grid's default, and Troy is part of that open market. In practice, though, state rules tightened years ago and residential offers are limited, so most Troy residents never switch and just take National Grid's standard supply. Either way, National Grid still delivers the power to your home. Use the lookup to see your address's setup.

How do I turn on water when I move to Troy?

Water and sewer in Troy are municipal, run by the City of Troy rather than a private company, so you set them up through the city instead of a utility like National Grid.
