What Is Orange & Rockland Utilities?
Orange & Rockland Utilities is a major natural gas and electric distribution company based in Spring Valley, New York. Founded as Rockland Light & Power Co. in 1899, the company later merged with Orange and Rockland Electric Company. It is now owned by Consolidated Edison Inc. Today, Orange & Rockland Utilities provides natural gas and electric services to more than 300,000 residential and commercial customers in six counties around New York City and northern New Jersey.
If you live in Orange & Rockland’s service area, you’ll automatically receive electricity, natural gas, or both from the utility. However, thanks to deregulation in New York and New Jersey, you can compare Orange & Rockland’s pricing with other suppliers to determine where you want to buy your energy.
Explore available electric and natural gas supply plans
The energy market has been deregulated in both New York and New Jersey since the late 1990s. This change separated the roles of utilities and electric suppliers. Utilities deliver your electricity, while energy services companies (ESCOs) sell electricity plans and manage billing. You can select an electric plan through your utility if you don’t wish to switch to another supplier. Customers in both states have energy choice because of deregulation.
Switching from your local utility to an energy supplier allows you to find the most competitive rate for electricity or natural gas in your area. Shopping for energy and comparing suppliers with your utility is similar to shopping for a new internet or cell phone provider.
With SaveOnEnergy, you can easily compare plans, rates, and providers to find the one that best meets your energy needs and budget. To compare Orange & Rockland rates with other suppliers near you, simply enter your ZIP code.
Call Orange & Rockland Utilities to report power outages
Generally, utilities are responsible for delivering your electric and natural gas supply, regardless of which supplier you purchase energy from. The utility is in charge of maintaining power and gas lines.
If you experience a power outage or problem with your gas supply in Orange & Rockland’s service area, always contact the utility immediately. Even if you purchase your power from a different ESCO, that supplier can’t help you with an outage.
