Buffalo shoppers still have supplier choice, but the public comparison flow looks different right now because the official offer board remains down. The safest public starting point is still benchmark-and-directory first: identify the utility territory, understand the benchmark context, and review which suppliers remain active.
National Grid still delivers the electricity, handles outages, and manages the local delivery relationship. Supplier choice affects the supply side of the bill, not the physical grid service. That distinction helps Buffalo users compare more calmly and keep the research grounded in the right utility context.
Buffalo is also a useful city page because it broadens New York coverage beyond the Con Edison focus of New York City. Western New York shoppers often want a local explanation first, especially while the normal public plan board is unavailable.
Choose My Electric helps Buffalo users stay organized now and be ready for cleaner comparison later, with the app handling reminders, plan tracking, and follow-up once a supplier decision is made.
