What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Public Service Commission criticized Consolidated Edison regarding its high property-tax bills, noting that New York City carries a significant tax burden. A large portion of the average customer's electricity bill, 21% of the delivery charge, goes toward paying Consolidated Edison's property taxes. Con Edison's property tax bill for its electric system increased from $1 billion in 2015 to over $2.1 billion last year. This increase is attributed to rising component costs and the state's 2019 climate law requiring grid upgrades.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The criticism highlights how the city's property-tax system allows utility taxes to be shifted onto consumers. The property tax alone adds approximately 5.4 cents per kilowatt-hour to customer bills in the five boroughs. This regulatory scrutiny targets Consolidated Edison's high property tax liability.
