New York’s War on Affordable Energy

A Statement From Assemblyman David DiPietro (R,C-East Aurora)

“NYPA’s proposed hydropower rate hikes are outrageous. At a time when hardworking New Yorkers are already struggling under crushing inflation and sky-high energy costs, Gov. Hochul and her bureaucrats want to nearly triple the cost of clean, reliable power for some communities. This is forced electrification at its worst—making energy unaffordable while driving businesses and families out of New York. Our state should be making it easier to live and work here, not punishing those who can’t afford the left’s utopian fantasies. NYPA needs to scrap this disastrous proposal before more damage is done. Enough is enough,” said DiPietro.

Assemblyman David DiPietro represents the 147th Assembly District, which includes parts of Erie and Wyoming counties.
