Electricity rates in Chenango County continue to rise, leaving homeowners with high utility bills and few options to cut costs. Whether you live in Norwich, Greene, or Oxford, relying on the grid means paying unpredictable rates with no control over future price hikes.
But solar changes that. With full system ownership from day one, you generate your own electricity instead of renting it from the utility company.
Most households in Chenango County get their power from NYSEG (New York State Electric & Gas), which has increased rates significantly in recent years. Higher delivery fees and seasonal rate changes make it harder for homeowners to budget their energy costs.
