NYS public commission approve electrical rate increase, but Hochul is mad

Zerex · Aug 17, 2025

Data centers for AI, and for crypto mining, are eating away at the grid's capacity. Add in EV's charging, and we are close to rolling brownouts.

Funny how Hochul and company pass laws that make our rates go up to find the electrical revolution to save the world but when the rates go up she’s mad because we can’t afford it. What a joke this all is. Are people really this dumb?

National Grid bills are going up next month; Here's how much you can expect to pay

National Grid customers in New York State will soon start paying more for electricity after the Public Service Commission unanimously approved the proposed 20 percent rate hike.

Well she's got to play along like she was opposed all along and concerned for the Public, which I expect is utter bullshit....Democrat Duplicity and anything to stay in power.

She`s only mad because she knows even more people now, are going to say phuck new york and leave. She will have to raise taxes to keep the state afloat. That will even cause MORE people to say phuck it and leave. These stupid MuthFkr`s just don`t get it, and they never will. Once they`ve destroyed everything, they move on to the next place and destroy it. Its a common thing with phucking stupid people. The problem is, stupid just keeps electing stupid. Its what stupid does.

Yeah, and PHUCK NEW YORK! I`m out!

And wait until you see the inflation refund checks start coming in around october. Talk about embarrassing. When and if i get one, its getting mailed right back by certified mail to make sure they get it back. I do NOT want their phucking handout from the state. This state can go phuck itself as far as i`m concerned.

Election bribes are coming. This is whorchuls way of bribing people to vote for her. "SEE, SEEEEEEE, LOOK WHAT I DID FOR YOU PLEBS"

I am hoping so.

They all, power cos., government, your schools, have "maintenance" budgets that end up in the general fund; then you get increased to pay for upgrades and maintenance.
You are really being billed to pay someone else's bill.

My power flicked out for about 5 seconds on Friday.

For about 2 seconds I wondered... Is it happening?!

Then the power came back on. I suspect the grid was out of balance from excessive load

The definition of a VIRUS.

And when that horse toothed cunt finally makes sure electricity is the only game in town then you will pay whatever they tell you to.

Funny how it’s her policies that caused this. She has pulled back on the 2035 emissions targets because it’s failing and causing the prices to rise and people can’t afford it. Now add into this that those over $80,000 will pay the electric or gas of those making under $80,000 and we will all be broke. Hochul is playing games to get re-elected but not sure it will work unless people are exceptionally stupid but you know, it’s NYs so…

Too be honest, these issues existed long before this hag became the dear leader of NY. This goes back many administrations

I think 1-2% of your bill is directly from a Revenue Decoupling Mechanism. In other words, they charge you more for using less.

Cavalry · Aug 18, 2025

Oh good 20% increase in addition to the "Enhanced Energy Affordability Policy". I cant wait to see what my bill will be.
Pretty soon its going to be less expensive to just run a generator and make my own.

Bustedknees · Aug 18, 2025

So I need to reconsider allowing a solar company to put panels on my house or garage?

Bigfoot · Aug 18, 2025

Hochul's an asshole.

Hochul just might be the most annoying person this country, maybe the world, has ever seen.

Bigfoot · Aug 18, 2025

Hochul's talking points seem to be "the safety of New Yorkers" and, more recently, "affordability for New Yorkers."

She's failing on both accounts, she should probably change her talking points.
The current ones are pointing out what a failure she is.

I just said this to my wife. Soon enough it will be cheaper to buy and run our own natural gas generator. Sad.

A co-gen will also heat your house for essentially free. A tri-gen (adds cooling) is not really there yet for smaller scale.

Our grid is under constant attack, as we all know. Those flickering lights are likely attempts by the utilities to keep fpreign and domestic enemies, out of the electrical grid.

Hochul being mad amounts to nothing more than political theatre. She could have made demands or threatened the rate commission but she did neither and she was ignored.

Classic good cop bad cop routine.

Actually I calculated it out and found that it would be cheaper to run a generator. I have a whole house diesel generator and fuel it with off road diesel (I have a 250 gallon tank). If I were to run the generator a few hours a day split between morning and night, enough to run fridge/freezers, charge electronics, and use water, it would be cheaper overall.

Obviously we would have to give up TV and run more battery powered stuff. I have a hand pump if we really needed water, or just fill a bunch of buckets when generator runs. We heat with wood, cook with gas. I mean it is very doable and if these rate increases keep up...I will do it.

NYS public commission approve electrical rate increase, but Hochul is mad
