Central Hudson

Central Hudson is a prominent energy company serving the Mid-Hudson River Valley in New York State, with a history that dates back to 1900. It delivers electricity and natural gas to over 300,000 residential and business customers across a 2,600-square-mile area, including cities like Poughkeepsie, Newburgh, Beacon, and Kingston. The company was formed in 1925 through the consolidation of more than 80 independent electric and gas companies and is now a subsidiary of Fortis Inc. Central Hudson provides reliable energy delivery and maintains the necessary infrastructure for safe distribution. In addition to basic utility services, it offers energy efficiency programs and supports sustainable energy initiatives. As the default electricity supplier in New York's deregulated market, Central Hudson ensures continuous service for customers who do not choose an independent Energy Service Company. The company is deeply committed to community engagement, celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2025 with acts of service and financial support for local organizations. With a workforce largely residing in the Hudson Valley, Central Hudson emphasizes its dedication to the region's well-being.
