VILLAGE OF GREENE

Please take notice that New York State Public Service Commission (“Commission”) has approved amendments to Village of Greene’s Electric Tariff that will become effective April 1, 2026.
The Tariff amendments increase the Village’s overall electric revenues by $532,732 or 19.9%.  The new rates are necessary to fund the increased cost of purchased power, labor, employee health benefits and pension costs, as well as necessary capital.  The new rates will increase the Village’s electric delivery rates by approximately 32.5% percent.  For an average residential customer using approximately 750 kilowatt-hours of energy per month, the rates will increase the monthly bill from approximately $43.82 to $52.55.  The Village's rates were last increased in 2008.
 The amended Tariff and a summary table showing the new rates for each Tariff charge is available at the Village’s office and online at the Department of Public Service website.  You can review these documents online by going to www.dps.ny.gov, clicking on “File Search” (located under the heading “Commission Files”) and entering “25-E-0643” in the box labelled “Search by Case Number.”  If you have any questions, you can reach out to us at: The Village of Greene, 49 Genesee Street, PO Box 207, Greene, NY 13778.  If you would like to comment to the Commission directly, you can go to www.dps.ny.gov, click on “File Search” (located under the heading “Commission Files”), enter “25-E-0643” in the box labelled “Search by Case Number,” and then click on “Post Comments” located at the top right of the page.  Alternatively, comments may be mailed to the Hon. Michelle L Phillips, Secretary, Public Service Commission, Three Empire State Plaza, Albany, New York 12223-1350.

*ATTENTION ALL MUNICIPAL ELECTRIC CUSTOMERS**
 Like all other electric utilities at this time of year, The Village of Greene Municipal Electric customers can expect to see much higher-than-normal electricity utility billing for their January 2026 usage which they will receive in mid-February. This expectation of higher than usual costs may continue into February or beyond should we not experience near normal temperatures and conditions moving forward. Contributing factors of electricity price increases include growing demand in the state, less electrical generators (supply), record high costs of electricity purchased from the grid, transmission congestion, and extreme sustained cold weather are all variables which will generate the highest bills ever experienced by our customers. To put January 2026’s market prices into perspective, wholesale electricity prices in New York State were averaging nearly $600 per megawatt hour $0.60 per kilowatt hour) the last week of January 2026. For the month of January 2025 (which was a fairly cold month relative to average) prices averaged $103 per megawatt hour ($0.103 per kilowatt hour), and in January 2014, the infamous polar vortex year, prices averaged $127 per megawatt hour ($0.127 per kilowatt hour) in 2014 dollars, or roughly $0.18 per kilowatt hour in 2025 dollars. The Village of Greene Electric is in the electric distribution business and has no part or control in the electric supply market. The electric supply market is managed by New York State, and price is determined by market conditions which again, The Village of Greene does not control. We do not generate power or manage transmission lines that deliver power to The Village of Greene for distribution. All additional costs above and beyond our normal cost of power we sell are strictly pass-through costs to our customers through our PPAC charge (which the Village of Greene Electric does not profit from) and are associated with all the variables previously stated to manage the power grid and provide power to our system. We encourage all customers to reduce consumption, seek programs to help with insulating your home, or upgrade heating sources. These temporary price increases affect all electric users, not only The Village of Greene Electric customers.  Even with these temporary increases, The Village of Greene Electric, compared to other major utilities in the area, is still among the least expensive power in New York with average costs typically 1/3 to 1/2 of those of investor-owned utilities.

Certain terms of service offered by the Village of Greene municipal electric utility are governed by the New York Municipal Power Agency Generic Tariff No:1, (which can be viewed here: https://link.edgepilot.com/s/639c0dc2/ykp3JIbryke6eIipnB2rXg?u=https://ets.dps.ny.gov/ets_web/search/showPDF.cfm?M%253AIS%2520%253B%252A%2529LOUNWD%255CJ%255E8%252B%2522%252B5%252F0MD%252F0%2528%2523%2521N%2529S%255CCVU2R%252AK%253AR%255CA%255B%252A2H%2522N%255EAISF%2520XNY%250A%2527N7JEJK%255F%252CB%2540%2520%2520%250A), with the exception of the following provisions: Rider B thereto, which establishes a formula for determining energy rates for certain outdoor LED lighting fixtures, and Rider C thereto, which provides terms and conditions for the interconnection of customer owned electricity generation facilities.
