Here in central New York, I've gotten these types of letters a couple of times a year - and the usual phone calls, another one yesterday, as well. My NYSEG supply rate has always been lower. As an aside, NYSEG has sent me two emails in the last month asking me if I'd like a new "SMART METER" so that they can help me to control my thermostat. Uh, no thanks. But I don't doubt that at some time in the near future, they will stop asking, and start telling. That's how these roll-outs, be they meters or Windows 10, are done.
