Migration numbers for residential anemic

Immediately before the latest Voice Your Choice round closed last December 10.2 percent of the NYSEG's residential customers had switched to an alternative supplier - 76,675 residential accounts of a total 751,132 accounts - according to these statistics from the Public Service Commission. These are numbers from Nov. 2007.

Regulators should have a post-Voice Your Choice number available in two months.

However the number of accounts that had switched to an alternative supplier is 55 percent greater than a year earlier.

Residential migration comparisons from other utilities in the state:
Central Hudson Gas & Electric: 1.8 percent
ConEd: 14.3 percent
National Grid: 10.6 percent
Orange Rockland: 27.5 percent
Rochester Gas & Electric: 16.9 percent
