National Grid Long Island Bill Payment: Everything You Need To Know

General Payment Information for National Grid Long Island Users

National Grid Long Island has natural gas customers across the Rockaways Peninsula and Nassau County. In total, National Grid delivers natural gas to over 3.5 million customers. They have been increasing their service area and gas capacity by taking part in projects, such as the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) Project.

National Grid Long Island customers are free to choose their energy suppliers. National Grid Long Island is an energy delivery company, not a gas supply company. However, if you don’t choose an energy supplier, you will get the default gas supply plan from National Grid Long Island.

The default plan is approved and regulated by the gov and Public Utilities Commission. The default gas supply rate is called the Price to Compare and is usually more expensive than other suppliers. You can compare the rates and plans offered by different energy suppliers with National Grid Long Island’s Price to Compare and select the best rate for you.
