Nearly 93 percent of New Yorkers think consumers should have a choice of electricity suppliers, according to a new poll from the Retail Energy Supply Association. The association is a trade group representing companies that provide a range of competitive energy services in the state.
Syracuse University, which conducted the survey of 550 New York homeowners between March 30 and April 2, also found that:
—80 percent support policies that promote competition.
—40 percent said they might switch energy suppliers in the future.
—More than 82 percent said green power was important to them, and more than 50 percent said they would pay extra for it.
—A lack of information is a key reason why some people are reluctant to switch energy suppliers.
