TAKE BACK THE GRID

They didn’t ask your permission. They just enrolled you.

That’s what happened to thousands of White Plains residents through Westchester Power, a government-backed energy program run by Sustainable Westchester. Under the guise of clean energy, residents were automatically signed up unless they opted out between 6/24 and 7/24 — and most never even knew it. Since November 2022, Westchester Power rates have consistently been higher than ConEd’s.

Lenny Lolis says enough is enough. This isn’t clean energy—it’s clean trickery. He’s calling it what it is: bureaucratic overreach dressed up as environmental virtue-signaling, and it’s costing residents real money.

As Mayor, Lenny will end forced enrollment into programs that drive up utility bills without clear consent. No more fine print. No more opt-out traps. You’ll decide what’s on your bill—not some hidden task force backed by corporate green-washing.

The ConEdison Cost Bomb

While Westchester Power handles the supply side, ConEd is quietly jacking up the delivery side of your bill to fund massive infrastructure upgrades. These costs—not the energy you use, but the wires and poles it travels through—are passed directly to you.

In 2023, ConEd proposed another delivery rate hike through 2025. Westchester’s own Board of Legislators pushed back, saying it would hit low-income families and small businesses the hardest. But under current state law, ConEd still gets to collect.

Lenny believes these hikes deserve real scrutiny. As Mayor, he’ll push for transparency in rate-setting, demand justification for infrastructure spending, and fight for protections for working families, seniors, and first responders already struggling under sky-high taxes.
