Con Edison is one of the largest companies in New York State, and plays a major role in the economic development of the New York metropolitan area. We employ more than 14,600 people, purchase goods and services from community-based organizations, and are one of the largest taxpayers in both the city and the state. Our managers identify significant business and operational risks and liabilities to the company, ensuring that they are prudently addressed to minimize their impacts on our performance.
In 2014, Con Edison was again named winner of the 2014 Outstanding System Reliability Award by PA Consulting, top U.S. utility in the Newsweek Green Rankings, and winner of an Innovation Award from the Utility Analytics Institute for development of a software program that aids in identifying programs to reduce customer electrical usage in times of high demand.
