No Con Ed rate hike for fracked gas expansion in the Bronx

Tell Governor Hochul and the PSC: Deny Con Ed’s egregious rate hike for fracked gas expansion in the Bronx

Background: At the same time New Yorkers are already facing outrageously high gas and electric bills, Con Ed has requested to raise bills even more to expand its fracked gas infrastructure in the Bronx!

What does Con Ed want to raise our monthly bills for?


Con Ed is requesting to spend $104.9 million to replace approximately seven miles of existing 24-inch transmission pipeline from the Bronx River Tunnel to Westchester/Bronx Border with an expanded 36-inch pipeline.

Work will include tunneling under Soundview Park next year.

Con Ed also wants to spend $70.4 million to extend the life of its Astoria LNG facility which contributes to the poor air quality in the region.

We need to tell Governor Hochul and her PSC that we refuse to pay for Con Ed's fracked gas expansion and that the heath and safety of our communities and the climate must come first!
