New York commercial electricity rates
The average all-in rate and monthly usage for the average New York commercial account, how retail supplier choice works there, who delivers the power and who regulates it. Market context with its source and date, never a quote.
EIA averages, data through 06/2026. All-in means supply and delivery together; supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
New York commercial electricity at a glance
The average New York commercial account paid 23.56¢ per kWh all-in, supply and delivery together, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026), and used about 5,100 kWh a month (EIA, through 2026). That average mixes corner stores with hospitals, so it is market context rather than a quote for any one business, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two figures are not directly comparable. Among the 14 states with retail electricity choice, New York has the 13th lowest all-in commercial average. The regulator is the New York State Public Service Commission. Voltcheckr LLC is registered as an electricity broker in Texas (PUCT Broker Registration BR260102) and is not currently registered in New York.
How retail electricity choice works in New York
New York businesses served by Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson or Orange and Rockland can buy their supply from an energy service company, an ESCO, that the PSC has approved, while the utility keeps delivering the power and issuing the bill. A business that never chooses stays on the utility's own supply rate. The PSC registers energy brokers and consultants as their own class, and an entity's registration does not extend to the agents who work for it.

What is the average commercial electricity rate in New York?
23.56¢ per kWh all-in (supply and delivery together) for the average New York commercial account, versus 14.19¢ nationally (EIA, 06/2026). EIA averages mix small storefronts with large facilities, and supplier contract quotes cover the supply portion only, so the two are not directly comparable.
Can a New York business choose its electricity supplier?
Yes. New York businesses served by Con Edison, National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson or Orange and Rockland can buy their supply from an energy service company, an ESCO, that the PSC has approved, while the utility keeps delivering the power and issuing the bill.

About 5,100 kWh a month for the average commercial account (EIA, through 2026), against 6,446 kWh nationally. That is the average across every commercial customer in the state, from a corner store to a hospital, so a specific business can sit far from it.
