Descriptiontext

Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E) is a regulated electric and natural gas delivery utility serving residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal customers across the Rochester, New York metropolitan region and surrounding communities. The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avangrid (NYSE: AGR), itself majority-owned by Spain's Iberdrola, and operates under an exclusive franchise granted by the New York State Public Service Commission. RG&E earns revenue primarily through PSC-approved delivery charges on electricity and gas throughput — usage-based and largely pass-through — plus state-mandated transition and systems benefit charges. Supply charges are passed through to customers at cost with no markup. Service initiation and account management are handled through an online self-service portal, mobile app (iOS/Android with biometric login), in-person offices, and 24/7 phone support, with bill payments processed through a KUBRA integration and Walmart pay-agent locations.

RG&E's core technology stack is anchored by Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) including smart meters that automatically transmit hourly consumption data, eliminating estimated billing and feeding downstream digital products. The customer-facing technology layer includes the Energy Manager portal (hourly usage tracking with weather impact and personalized savings tips, also offered as a business-specific version with billed demand analysis and peak-demand insights), the Outage Map and outage alerts system, eBill paperless billing with 24 months of history, AutoPay, and Budget Billing with annual true-up. Distribution-side capabilities include Distributed Energy Resources aggregation, Non-Wires and Non-Pipe Alternatives (grid modernization substitutes for traditional capex), Smart City Technology Program for municipalities, and Bulk Energy Storage programs. Operational integrations include Google Analytics on the web property, KUBRA for payments, and the NYS Power to Choose resource for ESCO comparison.

Beyond regulated delivery, RG&E operates an extensive suite of state- and utility-funded efficiency, demand response, and energy assistance programs — Smart Savings Rewards demand response (offering a $70 e-gift card plus $20 bill credit for smart thermostat enrollment), NYS Clean Heat heat-pump rebates, Insulation and Air Sealing rebates, Commercial and Industrial Rebates, EV Programs across home and business segments, Wind Energy renewable credits, Life Support Protection, EAP/EEAP energy affordability programs, Project SHARE emergency heating aid, and an NYSERDA-partnered EmPower+ residential assessment channel. A conversational AI assistant branded 'Ava', powered by NTT DATA, provides guided support across account, billing, and energy topics.

The Cool DownNew York utility customers can get bill-credit help at in-person events before winterRochester Gas and Electric and New York State Electric & Gas are holding in-person assistance events in September and October for Western New York customers. The events help customers learn about bill credits and energy-efficiency resources, with enrollment for HEAP opening Nov. 1.The Cool DownNew York could let utilities own power plants again as fight over electric bills escalatesNew York state regulators are considering a proposal to allow utilities, including Rochester Gas and Electric and New York State Electric and Gas, to own and operate power plants again, overturning a long-standing deregulation rule. Avangrid, the parent company of these utilities, argues that utility-led generation is necessary to meet clean energy goals and grid reliability, while independent power producers oppose the move fearing increased costs and project delays for consumers.The Cool DownMore than 46,000 upstate New Yorkers lost utility service within two months over unpaid billsUpstate New York utilities disconnected more than 46,000 residential customers over unpaid bills in May and June, with National Grid, Niagara Mohawk, NYSEG, and Rochester Gas & Electric reporting significant shutoffs. These disconnections create a financial burden for households and potentially increase rates for other customers as utilities attempt to recover lost revenue.WHEC.comRochester’s Pinnacle Apartments hit by another power outage; RG&E crews respondRG&E crews responded to a power outage at Pinnacle Apartments in Rochester on Sunday morning, which caused all three elevators to fail and stranded residents for hours. PathStone, the building's management company, stated that the outage was not related to the elevator systems and noted that previous outages had also occurred. Residents expressed concern over safety risks, particularly for seniors and those requiring medical equipment like oxygen tanks.The Cool DownNew York orders $50 million in utility penalties returned to customers after service failuresThe New York State Public Service Commission found that five utilities—National Grid, NYSEG, RG&E, Central Hudson, and Liberty Utilities—failed to meet state customer service standards and ordered $50 million in penalties to be returned to customers through negative revenue adjustments. National Grid received the largest assessment at $16.9 million, falling short on customer satisfaction surveys and call-answer targets, and missing at least 883 scheduled appointments. The PSC stated that the enforcement action aims to make utilities uphold customer experience as a priority and could drive stronger oversight and improved service over time.The Cool DownNew York utilities warn summer power use can hit bills fast, and free alerts can flag it earlyNew York State Electric and Gas and Rochester Gas and Electric are urging customers to closely monitor electricity usage during peak summer cooling season, warning that heavy air conditioner, fan, and pool pump use can quickly increase monthly bills. The utilities are offering free automated usage alerts that notify customers when daily consumption deviates from their 30-day average, along with the Energy Manager online tool for tracking household energy over time. They recommend simple at-home changes such as closing blinds on hot days, using ceiling fans, sealing air leaks, and raising thermostats by 7-10 degrees to reduce cooling costs.Business Wire BlogNYSEG and RG&E Economic Development Leader Receives NYSEDC’s James W. Griffin Rising Star AwardThe New York State Economic Development Council announced Joseph Sayre, Manager of Economic Development at New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) and Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E), as the recipient of the James W. Griffin Rising Star Award, recognizing economic development professionals under age 40 for their contributions to New York State's economy. Among Sayre's key accomplishments was his leadership role in securing the Fairlife dairy production facility in Webster, New York — a $650 million investment that will become the largest dairy production facility in the Northeast and create approximately 250 new jobs, and he also helped advance the Uptown Landing mixed-use housing development bringing 634 residential units to the Finger Lakes region.WHEC.comPolice: Driver taken to hospital after two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Scio and Lewis streetsA two-vehicle accident involving a BMW sedan and an Amazon delivery van occurred at the intersection of Scio and Lewis streets in Rochester, New York, resulting in serious injuries to the BMW driver. Police reported that the BMW was speeding when it collided with the Amazon van, which subsequently hit a light post and damaged a power line requiring RG&E's response. Amazon is currently managing the logistics for undelivered packages while the investigation into the cause remains ongoing.Energy CentralIntegrating Programs to Expand EV Charging Infrastructure While Enhancing Grid Planning and Load OptimizationFranklin Energy has implemented three integrated EV charging programs with New York State Electric & Gas and Rochester Gas and Electric: the EV Make-Ready program, the Demand Charge Rebate program offering 50% rebates on demand charges, and the Load Management Technology Incentive Program providing incentives for load management technologies.
