CONED Billing Issues

After CONED's recent changes in account numbers, we have identified customers who did not receive meter readings between January and March 2024. Subsequently, these customers have not been billed for supply charges during this period. 

Our transactions and billing team is working with CONED to resolve this matter. Once we receive the reads an invoice will be generated.

NJ APP ORDER UPDATE:

ONLY NJ Customers are eligible to have an ESCO if they are on a Low-income program with the utility or in a Government assistance program.

If a NJ customer calls in to cancel due to participating in a Low-income or a Government assistance program, we can retain them as the customers will not be affected. They will still be able to have their assistance program and their ESCO (Energy Service Company).
