NY local utility, Con Ed (Consolidated Edison Company) sell us NYs electrical services, gas (natural gas) and in Manhattan, it aslo sell steam. (for generators, and heating purposes.) the steam is a by product of its electrical generation..

Con Ed is pretty consistantly, year in year out, one of the most expensive utility providers. Last year, when all of California was complaining about the high cost of electricty, (as enron practiced price gouging), i notice that the average rate that drove our west coast denizens wild was $0.08 per kilowatt.. NYers regularly pay $0.12 to 0.14 -- i didn't have too much sympathy for them.
