2026 state guide
New York is temporarily different from many other supplier-choice states because the official public Power to Choose offer board is offline. That means the clearest public comparison path right now is the utility benchmark plus the live NY DPS supplier directory, not a normal plan-by-plan statewide rate board.
New York customers still compare supplier pricing against a utility context, but right now the public market view is benchmark-heavy because the usual Power to Choose offer board is unavailable. That makes the utility or load-zone selection on the bill especially important.
The official utility benchmark remains useful, and the New York DPS supplier directory still shows which ESCOs are active. Together they support a real research flow even without the normal public plan cards.
Choose My Electric currently ships New York as a benchmark-and-directory market. That means the guide is honest about the temporary source limitation while still helping shoppers understand utility mapping, benchmark context, and which suppliers are active in the official directory.
Because the official public Power to Choose offer board is offline, so the safest public fallback is the utility benchmark plus the NY DPS supplier directory.
No. The supplier-choice market still exists. The public offer-board source is what is temporarily offline.
Use the utility benchmark, identify the service area or load zone on the bill, review the active supplier directory, and keep the app ready for tracking and follow-up.
