Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman says he would dramatically reduce energy costs across New York immediately upon taking office, promising to slash average utility bills by 50 percent on his first day as governor.

In an interview with Miranda Devine on the Pod Force One podcast, the Nassau County executive outlined a plan that includes rolling back green energy requirements, reducing delivery charges, and cutting taxes that he says make up a large share of residents’ monthly bills.

“I can cut your electric bill in half, day one, when I become governor,” Blakeman told Devine, arguing that only a fraction of what consumers pay actually reflects the cost of electricity itself.

“I will control the regulatory authorities. We will bring down the taxes. We will bring down the delivery costs. And I will get rid of the green energy scam,” Blakeman vowed on the Thursday podcast.

Available data, however, suggests a more complex breakdown of utility costs. According to the Regional Plan Association, customers on Long Island typically see about 45 percent of their bill tied to energy supply, roughly 51 percent attributed to delivery expenses, and around 6 percent stemming from taxes. Delivery charges can also include fees connected to renewable energy programs.
