Can you believe the gall of Central Hudson Gas & Electric? With the huge hit everyone is getting from the inflated prices of oil and gasoline, obviously Hudson Valley as well, Central Hudson wants to increase their delivery charges just to give their customers one more kick in the pants.
Shame on them. The northern areas of the United States are already in fear of $4 per gallon plus home heating oil with the total oil bill increasing 60% over last year ($2.69 vs 4.29). That’s roughly an added $1600 per thousand gallons of oil. Electricity supply charges has jumped from roughly 7 cents per KWH to over 11 cents. This equates to about the same 60% increase. Do you think there’s going to be some issues heating homes this year for the lower middle class and poor? Yep.

does anyone know an alternative company to use other than central hudson gas and electric in poughkeepsie ny. they are extorting $1,000 per account, at 4 accounts in my 1 office/building, as a deposit to have electric turned on. i tried to get them to decrease the deposit amount but to no avail.
so now i am looking for an alternative – i do not want to give any money to central hudson.
