Yep it's just a shell game. The NY Post covers this nonsense pretty well.

So when they increase rates they get more tax money? Essentially we’re paying 100% for gas and over that for taxes on electric. No wonder they want it hidden from the public.

Don't forget the revenue decoupling mechanism.

( Their goal within the department of public service is to provide "safe, reliable utility service at just and reasonable rates."
Girardin pointed the I-Team to a February 2017 PSC decision going against the wishes of the utility companies regarding funding for New york's clean energy initiatives.
National Grid and others pushed to get a separate line on each customer bill, to show exactly how much is going to the state.
The PSC sided against that, and concluded it would be too confusing.
Instead they said "these utilities should however track these costs separately" for customers.
The I-Team reached out to the PSC to find out if they are considering making a change and giving the utility companies what they asked )
Just and reasonable rates my ass , and a separate line item would be too confusing my ass . Those pricks don't want the consumer to know how much NYS is screwing them.

Here in TN, there is one line on my bill - Electric Charges. It's quite confusing.

The State's vig is much greater than this piece suggests and it has been illegal in NY for utilities to inform rate payers how much of their bill is actually "tax". Since Mario el'duce days the democrats have prevented changes that provide full accurate disclosure.

There is also a chart on my bill, but even that is a single line, and therefore only a single color.

AND these taxes are paying for PRIVATE companies to set up solar farms, get the revenue AND at least Northern NY doesn’t even get the power; goes way south. BUT we lose the farm land.

Have they found a way to store the power? Battery? Peak electric usage is 4pm-9pm , half that timeframe is darkness

Oh you mean a storage and distribution grid. Last major power station built in 1975 you say……. and you wonder why DOW is going with small nuclear plants to provide reliable power you say…..

A contact in CA mentioned 6 months ago they had transitioned to electrical billing according to tax bracket; No, not usage.
