By putting potenttial sales tax savings on the bill, regulators think they can light a fire under people to become more active in the competitive market.
Since just 11 percent of NYSEG residential customer base has switched to an alternate supplier, based on the PSC December stats, they believe that by spelling out potential savings on the bill they can get more people to buy into alternate suppliers. We may see those figures rise when the January report is released at the close of another round of Voice Your Choice.
Reason for separating the billing charge: It's all a part of a strategy regulators have had for more than five years as they attempt to unbundle items in a consumer bill. If there's a potential that someone can produce NYSEG bill cheaper, regulators would like to see that happen.
