New York City shoppers still have supplier choice, but the public comparison experience is different right now because the official offer board is down. That means the safest public flow is benchmark-and-directory first: understand the utility area, review the benchmark context, and then look at which suppliers are active in the official directory.
Con Edison still delivers the electricity, runs the local delivery system, and handles outages. Supplier choice affects the supply side of the bill, not who maintains the physical grid. That distinction matters even more in a city where customers often recognize the utility name first.
New York City also works well as a city page because it gives shoppers a local starting point while the market is in fallback mode. Instead of dropping everyone into a statewide explanation first, it gives a clearer front door for Con Edison-area customers.
