Upstate NY residents face soaring National Grid bills despite stable usage, prompting Assemblyman Santabarbara to demand an investigation into fees, costs, and AI-driven demand.
New York Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara is urging State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli to investigate sharp increases in National Grid electricity and gas bills across upstate New York, where some residents report bills rising $60 to $150 or even tripling despite stable energy use.
The probe will examine delivery fees, cost-recovery practices, and regulatory oversight, as concerns grow over fairness and transparency in a utility system where consumers have no alternatives.
Santabarbara cites rising winter heating costs and the financial strain on low-income and fixed-income households, linking broader energy price trends to growing demand from AI data centers.
He has introduced new legislation to address the issue, emphasizing the need for accountability and consumer protection.
