Choosing an Alternate Supplier (or ESCO)
As your local utility, Central Hudson is your automatic electricity and/or natural gas provider for delivery and supply.
Delivery encompasses all services related to getting energy to your home, and supply covers the cost of energy you consume and customer serice. By choosing an alternative Energy Supply Company (ESCO), you may be able to save on supply charges.
If you would like to choose an ESCO, you must open an account with Central Hudson first. Your new ESCO will need your Central Hudson account information in order to take over your energy supply. Most suppliers do not charge a fee to set up service, but you should read up on other common contract conditions. Though you can usually choose between variable and fixed rates, we recommend fixed.

How to Cancel Service
If you are moving out of Central Hudson territory, go into your local Kingston office or call Central Hudson at least 5 business days before your move-out date, to ensure you are not charged for extra days. A technician will need to read your natural gas meter in order to bill you properly. There are no fees to turn off service.
To end your ESCO service, you may be able to avoid cancellation fees if you show proof of your move, usually 30 days in advance of your move-out date. Be sure to have a look at your ESCO contract before moving.
