Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 3249. In 2024 it served 229,592 bundled residential customers in New York (plus 41,267 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 25.14 cents per kWh: $462 million of residential revenue divided by 1.84 million MWh of residential sales.

Across the other sectors, Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp's 2024 average prices were 17.42 cents for commercial customers (37,980 accounts) and 16.09 cents for industrial customers (602 accounts). Industrial customers paid 9.05 cents less per kWh than households, a 36% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. New York allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 229,592 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 25.14 cents per kWh, while 41,267 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp only for delivery, which averaged 16.61 cents per kWh for the wires portion.

Within New York, Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp ranked number 6 of 15 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (270,859, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 4.26% of the state's residential electricity sales in 2024, measured in MWh sold or delivered rather than in customers. The state-wide average realised residential price in 2024, computed from the same EIA file, was 24.43 cents per kWh, so Central Hudson Gas & Elec Corp's customers paid 0.71 cents above the New York average (+2.9%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for New York is 29.49 cents per kWh (June 2026, Electric Power Monthly); that is a different, more recent measure across all utilities and is not directly comparable with a 2024 annual average.

On the grid side it operates in the NPCC NERC region and the NYISO market, and reported generation, transmission, distribution, wholesale marketing, and bundled as its activities.
