2020 Central Hudson Rate Case
As a non-profit organization dedicated to helping communities in the mid-Hudson region transition to a locally-based clean energy economy, CLP sought in this rate case to address issues of significant impact on our municipalities, residents, and small businesses.
Our victories in the Central Hudson Rate Case are listed down below.
Rate Decrease in the First Year: CLP welcomes the unusual rate decrease that Central Hudson’s customers will experience during Year I of the new three-year rate period. It is surely appropriate given the devastating impacts of the pandemic on individuals’ and businesses’ ability to pay.
Spanish Website & Billing: We raised the issue of language accessibility and welcome the company’s explicit commitment to provide Spanish-language informational materials and bills to its customers who require them. As detailed in Appendix Z of the Joint Proposal, Central Hudson is committed to translating its website into Spanish by December 31, 2022.
Gas Sales Targeting a Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: As part of the Joint Settlement, Central Hudson has committed to developing a greenhouse gas emissions reduction plan.
