All New York Energy $martSM programs are funded by a System Benefits  Charge 
(SBC) paid by electric distribution customers of Central Hudson, Con  Edison, 
NYSEG, National Grid, Orange and Rockland, and Rochester Gas and  Electric. 
NYSERDA, a public benefit corporation established by law in 1975,  administers 
SBC funds and programs under an agreement with the Public Service  Commission.

New York Energy $martSM programs are designed to lower electricity  costs by 
encouraging energy efficiency as the State's electric utilities move to  
competition. The programs are available to electric distribution customers  
(residential, commercial, institutional, and industrial) who pay into the  SBC.
