Commission notes rising gas rates and electric cost concerns
The commission critiques rate disparities between Mount Vernon Yonkers and Port Chester districts. It finds electric service profitable but calls for further near term electric rate reductions across most territory, while sharply reducing valuation and costly overhead claims tied to the Westchester Lighting Company and related bonds. It rejects large intangibles and contractor profit as unsupported, and discusses depreciation and the broader health of the utility’s finances amid a high interest burden.
