By This Math, If Your Power Was Out For Ten Days You Should Only Be Paying $9 A Month For Electricity

Con Ed announced that they would be issuing a $3 credit to residents affected by the blackout:

Con Ed is giving long-suffering Queens customers who were blacked out for more than a week a bonus for their pain and suffering — $3.

That’s what most residential customers will receive as part of a Con Ed request the state Public Service Commission granted yesterday.

The credit — for billing and meter charges — will be reflected in their upcoming bill.
