New Yorkers could face big hikes in their gas and electric bills.
Con Edison filed a proposal with state regulators calling for residential electric bills to increase by 5.2 percent, and gas heating bills by 7.7 percent next January.
New York City apartment dwellers who use 300 kilowatt hours of electricity per month would pay $82.64, a boost of $4.11.
Con Ed gas heat customers would see typical bills rise by $10.99 per month, to $153.30. Cooking gas bills would rise by 14.4 percent, to about $29.75 per month.
National Grid gas customers in Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island will see typical heating bills rise an estimated 14 percent, to $113.83 per month, the company says in a plan submitted to the state.
Con Ed last increased its electric rates in April 2012, and its gas rates in October 2012.
