2. New York DPS: Westchester Power Customers Paid More Overall Despite Wild Swings in Savings and Losses (talkofthesound.com) — White Plains residents in the Westchester Power program are part of a countywide group that, over several years, ended up paying about $631,000 more for electricity supply than standard utility rates, despite big savings during 2021–22 price spikes. State data show Sustainable Westchester's fixed-rate contracts sometimes beat the market and sometimes lagged badly, and regulators did not find clear environmental gains to offset the extra cost.
