New York to De-Couple Electricity Use from Utility Profits

Currently, energy utilities do not have incentive to reduce energy use because the more energy they sell, the more profits they make. One way to change the incentive is to "de-couple" a utility's profits from sales -- so they make more money by selling less.

Decoupling is currently rare, but according to a representative of the Spitzer administration, the New York Public Service Commission will make an historic announcement on decoupling next Wednesday.

For more information on decouping, see this NRDC article here.
