Submetering in NYC
Last reviewed by NES Editorial · September 2026
To submeter electricity in New York, an owner petitions the Public Service Commission first, and New York City adds its own requirements. NES handles the petition and the billing.
Submetering pays for itself at most New York properties. Residents are billed for what their unit uses, consumption drops, and the owner stops absorbing the master-meter bill. Submetering electricity takes a Public Service Commission petition first, which NES handles. NES has done the installs, daily reads, and resident billing in-house since 1968.
From an NES case study at a 337-unit apartment community once about half of residents were submetered. Results vary by property.
