A total of 426,000 NYSEG and Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) electricity customers made an electricity supply choice during an October-through-December enrollment period, the two Energy East Corp. subsidiaries said last Monday, with the bulk of the customers picking power supply plans sponsored by NYSEG and RG&E.

Energy East Corp. completed its $1.4 billion merger with RGS Energy Group Inc., the parent company of Upstate New York utility Rochester Gas and Electric Corp. Energy East becomes one of the largest energy providers in the Northeast with nearly three million customers, including 1.8 million electricity customers, one million natural gas customers and 200,000 other retail energy customers. Together, RG&E and Energy East subsidiary New York State Electric and Gas serve half of Upstate New York. Energy East now will have annual revenues of $5 billion and more than $10 billion in assets.

Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E), has reached an agreementwith the New York Public Service Commission (PSC) staff and othercompanies and groups to actively promote the customers’ right tochoose among competing natural gas suppliers.
