So Con Ed shut your power off? Here’s how to get some money back.
After New York City and Westchester reached a new record for peak power usage on Sunday night during the weekend’s heat wave, Con Edison cut power for approximately 33,000 Brooklyn customers — leaving them with no lights, no air conditioning and food slowly rotting in their refrigerators. Fortunately, there’s something that can be done about that last one.
If you were among the tens of thousands of Con Edison customers who had their power severed on Sunday night, you can file a claim for any food or medicine that went bad as a result.
The energy service company has claim forms on their website in 10 different languages — you can find them here.
