The City of Rye participates in a Community Energy Program known as Westchester Power. This electricity supply program is managed by the local nonprofit Sustainable Westchester on behalf of the 29 participating municipalities in Westchester County. The program empowers the county and its residents to actively work towards a vision for a healthy and sustainable future by supporting renewable energy. Residents benefit from the fixed price program model that provides cost control assurance on their electric supply charges.

Want to enroll? Rye residents who are not currently enrolled in the program (including those who have previously opted out of the Westchester Power electricity supply in the past) still have the ability to opt in and participate, as the current contract price is locked in until October 31, 2025.
For residents already participating in the program at either the 100% Renewable or 50% Renewable fixed rates, you can change your supply option at any time. Whether you want to move into the 100% Renewable supply to maximize your clean energy impact, or switch to the 50% Supply for a better financial option, the choice is yours.
Want to opt out of Westchester Power altogether? Residents participating in the program can opt out at any point they wish with no hassle, penalty, or fees.
* WP 50% option can be opted into by consumers but is not the default option for residents. Residents are automatically opted into the 100% renewable option and can opt into the WP 50% renewable option or opt out of the program entirely by choosing Con Edison’s variable rate.
** Based on 1,000 kWh monthly supply charge. Actual electricity usage will vary by home/business size and time of year.
