Rate Schedules & Tariff Analysis
O&R C&I rates are structured around service classification (S.C. 2/3 for general service, S.C. 9/22 for loads over 1,000 kW), voltage level (secondary vs. primary), and demand. Most C&I bills combine a fixed customer charge, a demand charge ($/kW based on peak demand), and per-kWh delivery, layered with the competitive or default supply charge. The 2025 Joint Proposal phases in delivery increases of ~$17.7M in 2026 and 2027.
Orange & Rockland Utilities Rate Schedule List
| Schedule | Applicability |
|---|---|
| S.C. 2 — General Secondary/Primary | General commercial/industrial service. |
| S.C. 3 — General Primary | Larger C&I at primary voltage. |
| S.C. 9 — Commercial over 1,000 kW | Large commercial loads. |
| S.C. 22 — Industrial over 1,000 kW | Large industrial loads. |
| S.C. 25 — Standby | On-site generation backup. |
Orange & Rockland Utilities Rate Features & TOU Details
- Service classification drives rate design (general vs. >1,000 kW)
- Demand charges ($/kW) are a major cost driver for C&I accounts
- Primary-voltage service earns a delivery discount vs. secondary
- Optional time-of-use (S.C. 20/21) rewards off-peak shifting

Orange & Rockland Utilities Data Access FAQ
How can a commercial customer or energy consultant get automated access to O&R interval data?▾
Register your application for Green Button Connect My Data via O&R's third-party registration form, complete the OAuth 2.0 onboarding, and have your commercial customer authorize you in My Account. Once authorized you receive automated daily interval data (up to 24 months) in ESPI XML. Share My Data offers an alternate portal-based authorization path.
What EDI transactions does O&R support for ESCOs and DER suppliers?▾
O&R supports ANSI X12 transactions including 814 (enrollment/change), 867 (usage delivery), 810 (invoice), and 820 (payment). Suppliers must complete NY PSC Phase I certification and O&R Phase III testing before moving to production. DER suppliers additionally complete a Data Security Agreement and vendor risk assessment.
Which O&R electric service classification applies to my commercial or industrial facility?▾
Under P.S.C. No. 10, general commercial/industrial customers fall under S.C. 2 (general secondary or primary service) and S.C. 3 (general primary service). Loads over 1,000 kW use S.C. 9 (commercial) or S.C. 22 (industrial). Time-of-use options are S.C. 20 and S.C. 21, and standby service for on-site generation is S.C. 25.
Can I shop for a competitive electricity supplier in O&R territory?▾
Yes. New York and New Jersey are deregulated for supply. C&I customers can select a competitive ESCO for the commodity portion of their bill while O&R continues to provide regulated delivery. The supply charge on default service is the pass-through Market Supply Charge with no utility markup.
How do I benchmark a commercial building's energy use with O&R data?▾
Use the Building Energy Usage Portal (BEUP) connected to ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. After connecting to the OrangeRocklandBenchmarking application and adding properties by Property ID, O&R auto-delivers aggregated annual consumption monthly, supporting benchmarking and local energy-law compliance.
