CONSOLIDATED EDISON CO OF NEW YORK INC

In July 2025, the NYSPSC issued an order adopting an enhanced energy affordability policy, which will expand eligibility for New York utilities' Energy Affordability Programs (EAP). These changes are expected to take effect in 2026. In an effort to address growing affordability concerns, the 2023-24 New York State budget tasked the NYSPSC with developing a discount program for residential electric and gas customers who do not qualify for the existing EAP but whose income is below the state or area median income to help additional households with energy bills. The order establishes three additional benefit tiers in a new Enhanced EAP (EEAP) alongside the current EAP and increases the total budget for these programs from 2 percent to 3 percent of each New York utility's total annual revenue, with 0.5 percent set aside for the three new EEAP. The Utilities are required, among other things, to file cost recovery plans detailing the cost to implement the program, update EAP budgets accordingly, and track enrollment and participation in the EEAP over an initial two-year pilot period. See "Energy Affordability" in Item 7.
