New York State Electric & Gas (NYSEG) was founded in 1852, and today serves 905,005 electricity customers and 271,547 natural gas customers across more than 40% of upstate New York. At NYSEG, we've always been dedicated to the communities we serve, and strive daily to provide safe, reliable service to customers. That's why we provide more than electricity. We spearhead conservation efforts, encourage economic growth, assist area businesses and fund important charity organizations through established and often one-of-a-kind programs.
