New York has retail choice. Prices on this page are all-in: Central Hudson’s delivery charges plus its default supply (the rate you pay if you have not chosen a supplier, often called the “price to compare”). If you buy supply from a retail supplier, Central Hudson still bills delivery and the supplier’s price replaces the supply part, so the supply rate alone is well below the all-in price shown here.
