What Consolidated Edison does

Regulated electric, gas and steam utility serving New York City and Westchester County.

Earns allowed returns set by the New York Public Service Commission, typically in multi-year rate plans that fix what customers pay in advance, so it earns on the grid and pipes it keeps investing in. Underground networks in dense Manhattan are costly to build and repair. It sold its renewable-energy business to RWE in 2023 to become mostly a regulated utility.
