Rate against consumption: New York utilities

Each dot is one of the 21 New York utilities reporting both a residential price and residential sales in 2024, placed by its rank percentile within that group rather than its raw value, so one very large utility cannot flatten the rest. Bubble size follows customers served, rank-scaled so a utility with millions of customers cannot swamp the rest. Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. is highlighted. In New York the cheapest rate belongs to City of Plattsburgh - (NY) (5.02¢) while the smallest implied annual bill belongs to Village of Solvay - (NY) ($805) - a household's bill is price multiplied by consumption, so the two rankings are different lists. 2×2 strategic matrix plotting 21 entities by Price rank percentile (100 = most expensive in state) (X) and Consumption rank percentile (100 = heaviest use) (Y), with a crosshair dividing the plot into four quadrants.
