 Exhibit 10.2.5 
 CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC. 
 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 As Amended and Restated 
 as of

 CONSOLIDATED EDISON COMPANY OF NEW YORK, INC. 
 EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE PLAN 
 PURPOSE

 In its original form, the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Executive Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) was effective as of
March 23, 1982. This document reflects the revisions to the Plan which were effective as of April 1, 1999. As to a Participant who was in the employ of the Company or its Affiliated Companies on April 1, 1999, the Mandatory Deferral
Portions and Optional Deferral Portions of Incentive Awards credited on the Participant’s behalf prior to April 1, 1999 and deferred to a date beyond April 1, 1999 were transferred to and are administered under the Deferred Income
Plan. This document also reflects the changes to the Plan that are effective as of August 1, 2000. Effective as of December 31, 2004, no additional Incentive Awards will be made under this Plan. Effective as of January 1, 2008, the
Plan was amended to reflect certain changes required by Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder. 
 The purpose of the Plan is to
provide executives designated by the Company’s Board of Trustees as eligible to participate in the Plan with incentives to achieve goals which are important to shareholders and customers of the Company, to supplement the Company’s salary
and benefit programs so as to provide overall compensation for such executives which is more competitive with corporations with which the Company must compete for the best executive talent, and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining
executives who are important to the continued success of the Company.

However, if any Person or Group is considered to own more than 50% of the total fair market value or total voting power of the stock of the Company, the acquisition of additional stock by the same Person or Group is not considered to cause a Change
of Control of the Company. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any Person or Group as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property will be treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of
this subsection. This subsection applies only when there is a transfer of stock of the Company (or issuance of stock of the Company) and stock in the Company remains outstanding after the transaction; 
  

 1 








 (b) any Person or Group acquires (or has acquired during the 12-month period ending on the date of the

acquisition by such Person or Group) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 40% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or
acquisitions. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets. However, no Change of
Control shall be deemed to occur under this subsection (d) as a result of a transfer to: 
  

	 	(i)	A shareholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to its stock; 

  

	 	(ii)	An entity, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company; 

  

	 	(iii)	A Person or Group that owns, directly or indirectly, 50% or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company; or

or Persons acting as a Group, is considered to effectively control the Company as described in subsections (b) or (c) above, the acquisition of additional control by the same Person or Persons is not considered to cause a Change of
Control. 
  

	1.06	Code shall mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time. 

  

	1.07	Company shall mean Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. or any successor by merger, purchase or otherwise; provided, however, that for purposes of Section 1.05,

which decisions will be made by the Board or its designee). The Plan Administrator shall abstain from any determination under the Plan in 

  

 5 








 
which he or she has a personal interest, in which case such determination shall be made by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Plan Administrator
shall be responsible for the administration of the Plan under the direction of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. 
 ARTICLE IV.
DETERMINATION OF AWARDS 
  

	4.01	Incentive Percentages 

 The Board shall determine a
percentage of annual salary deemed to constitute an appropriate incentive for each executive or executive position level eligible to participate in the Plan. Each such percentage is herein called an “Incentive Percentage”. The Board
may, from time to time, increase or decrease any Incentive Percentage, as the Board may deem appropriate. 
  

	4.02	Target Incentive Fund 

  

	 	(a)	At the end of each year, the annual rate of salary of each executive eligible to participate in the Plan for such year, as such salary is in effect at the end of such year, shall be
multiplied by the Incentive Percentage applicable to such person at such time. The sum of such products for all executives eligible to participate in the Plan for such year is herein called the “Target Incentive Fund” for such year.


  

	 	(b)	For purposes of calculating the Target Incentive Fund for any year: 

 (i) In the case of an executive whose employment with the Company has terminated during the year, the annual salary rate of such executive in effect at the time of such termination shall be deemed to be the annual
salary rate of such executive at the end of such year. 
 (ii) Deferred compensation, at the annual rate in effect at the end
of the year pursuant to an agreement between the Company and an executive, shall be considered part of such executive’s annual rate of salary at the end of such year. 
 (iii) An executive’s annual rate of salary shall be determined without any deduction for pre-tax contributions or after-tax
contributions made pursuant to the Consolidated Edison Thrift Savings Plan, the Con Edison Flexible Reimbursement Account Plan for Management Employees, the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. Management Plan Option, or the Deferred Income
Plan. 
  

	 	(c)	The amount included in the Target Incentive Fund for any year with respect to each executive is called such executive’s “Potential Award”.


  

 6 









	4.03	Adjusted Target Incentive Fund 

  

	 	(a)	In January of each year, the Board shall determine whether award of the Target Incentive Fund for the preceding year is appropriate or whether and to what extent such Target
Incentive Fund shall be reduced, eliminated entirely, or increased. The Board may increase the Target Incentive Fund by an amount not to exceed 50 percent of the Target Incentive Fund. In making such determination, the Board shall consider the
Company’s performance during the preceding year, taking into account such factors as the Board deems relevant. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the Target Incentive Fund for any year in which the Company omits a dividend on its common stock shall be reduced to zero.


  

	 	(c)	The Target Incentive Fund for a year, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 4.03, is herein called the “Adjusted Target Incentive Fund”.


  

	4.04	Incentive Awards 

 After the Adjusted Target
Incentive Fund for a year has been determined as provided in Section 4.03, the Management Development and Compensation Committee of the Board, upon the recommendations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (except with respect to his
own award), shall make, subject to confirmation by the Board, awards to individual Participants who are eligible to participate in the Plan for such year. Such awards are herein called “Incentive Awards”. Incentive Awards shall be
determined in the following manner: 
  

	 	(a)	Each Incentive Award shall be determined in the light of the contribution of the Participant’s group to the overall performance of the Company, the Participant’s
contribution to the performance of the Participant’s group, and the Participant’s individual performance. 

  

 7 









	 	(b)	An Incentive Award may range from zero to 150 percent of the Participant’s Potential Award for the year in question. 

  

	 	(c)	The aggregate of all Incentive Awards for a year may not exceed the Adjusted Target Incentive Fund for such year. 

  

	4.05	No Additional Incentive Awards 

 Effective as of
December 31, 2004, no additional Incentive Awards will be made under the Plan. 
 ARTICLE V. DEFERRAL OF AWARDS

	 	(a)	One-third of each Incentive Award shall be allocated to the Participant’s Equivalent Stock Account and shall be deferred until the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of
the Award Date or (ii) the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.06. 

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) above, the Participant may elect no later than the last day of the second calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the
Award Date occurs, to defer all or any part of such one-third portion for a further period ending on the earlier of (i) the sixth or any later anniversary of the Award Date or (ii) the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service
with the Company and Affiliated Companies; provided, however, that if the Participant makes a deferral election with respect to any portion of the Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award pursuant to this paragraph (b), on the
fifth anniversary of the Award Date of such Incentive Award, the value of the portion of the Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award so deferred shall be administered and accounted for under the Deferred Income Plan.


  

 8 








 The value of such Mandatory Deferral Portion or part thereof to be administered and accounted for under
the Deferred Income Plan shall be the value on the fifth anniversary of the Award Date of such Mandatory Deferral Portion of a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of Equivalent Stock Units in the respective subaccount
for the Mandatory Deferral Portion or part thereof to be administered and accounted for under the Deferral Income Plan. 
  

	5.02	Optional Deferral Portion 

 Up to two-thirds of each
Incentive Award may, at the Participant’s election, no later than the last day of the second calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Award Date occurs, be deferred to the earlier of (a) the third or later anniversary of the
Award Date of such Incentive Award, or (b) the date of the Participant’s Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies; provided, however, that if the Participant makes a deferral election with respect to
any portion of the Optional Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award pursuant to this Section 5.02, on the Award Date of such Incentive Award the value of the portion of the Optional Deferral Portion so deferred shall be administered and
accounted for under the Deferred Income Plan. 
  

	5.03	Transfer to Deferred Income Plan 

 The portion of a
Participant’s accounts deferred hereunder prior to April 1, 1999, which are no longer subject to potential forfeiture pursuant to Section 7.04 as of such date, shall be transferred to the Deferred Income Plan and thereafter be
administered and accounted for thereunder. As of the date that other amounts deferred hereunder prior to April 1, 1999 are no longer subject to potential forfeiture pursuant to Section 7.04, such amounts shall be transferred to the
Deferred Income Plan and thereafter be administered and accounted for thereunder. 
  

 9 








 ARTICLE VI. VALUATION OF AWARD 
  

	6.01	Non-Deferred Awards 

 The Valuation Date of any
portion of the Optional Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award that is not deferred pursuant to Section 5.02 shall be the Award Date, and the value on the Valuation Date shall be equal to the amount of such portion. 
  

	6.02	Equivalent Stock Account 

 An Equivalent Stock
Account shall be established for each Participant. A separate subaccount within such Equivalent Stock Account shall be established for each Mandatory Deferral Portion allocated to such Equivalent Stock Account. Each Mandatory Deferral Portion so
allocated shall be converted to a number of Equivalent Stock Units calculated (to the nearest thousandth) by dividing (x) such portion by (y) the value of one share of the Company’s common stock on the Award Date, and the number of
Equivalent Stock Units so calculated shall be credited to the respective subaccount within the Participant’s Equivalent Stock Account. On each dividend payment date for the Company’s common stock occurring between the Award Date and the
Valuation Date of such Mandatory Deferral Portion, there shall be credited to such subaccount the number of additional Equivalent Stock Units calculated (to the nearest thousandth) by dividing (x) the amount of the total dividend which would
have been paid on a number of shares (including fractional shares) of the Company’s common stock equal to the closing balance (in Equivalent Stock Units) in such subaccount on the record date for such dividend payment date, by (y) the
value of one share of the Company’s common stock on the dividend payment date. In the event of a dividend payable in shares of the Company’s common stock, a like number of Equivalent Stock Units shall be added to the subaccount. The
Valuation Date of such Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award shall be the date on which occurs the earliest of: 
  

	 	(a)	the Participant’s Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies on or after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age; 

  

 10 









	 	(b)	the Participant’s death; 

  

	 	(c)	the Participant’s Disability; or 

  

	 	(d)	the fifth anniversary of the Award Date of such Incentive Award if the Participant has not incurred a Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies on or prior
to such date; 

 provided, however, that if the Participant’s date of Separation from Service with the
Company and Affiliated Companies occurs prior to the earliest of the dates specified in (a) through (d) above but the Chief Executive Officer of the Company makes a determination pursuant to Section 7.04 that no forfeiture shall
occur, the Valuation Date shall be such date of Separation from Service. The value of such Mandatory Deferral Portion on the Valuation Date shall be the value, on the Valuation Date, of a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to
the number of Equivalent Stock Units in the respective subaccount on the Valuation Date. 
  

	6.03	Common Stock Value 

 For all purposes of the Plan,
the value of a share of the Company’s common stock, as of any date, shall be deemed to be the mean of the high and low sale price for such a share reported on the New York Stock Exchange for trading on such date (or, if there was no reported
trade for such date, on the first day of trading thereafter). Appropriate adjustments shall be made in the event of a stock split, reclassification or reorganization. 
 ARTICLE VII. PAYMENT OF AWARDS 
  

	7.01	Time of Payment 

  

	 	(a)	 Each portion of a Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award (i) for which the deferral election in Section 5.01(b) has not been made, or
(ii) for which such deferral election has been made and the Participant (A) does not incur a Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies until on or after the earliest of the dates specified in (a) through
(d) of Section 6.02 or (B) incurs a Separation from Service with 



  

 11 









	 	 
the Company and Affiliated Companies prior to the earliest of the dates specified in (a) through (d) of Section 6.02 but the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company makes a determination pursuant to Section 7.04 that no forfeiture shall be made, shall become payable within 60 days after its respective Valuation Date, solely with respect to amounts for which a deferral election has
been made under Section 5.01(b), to the extent such amounts have not been previously transferred to the Deferred Income Plan. 


  

	 	(b)	Each portion of an Optional Deferral Portion for which a deferral election under Section 5.02 has not been made shall become payable within 60 days after its respective
Valuation Date, as provided in this Article VII. 

  

	7.02	Amount of Payment 

 Each portion of (a) the
Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award (i) for which the deferral election in Section 5.01(b) has not been made, or (ii) for which such deferral election has been made and the Participant (A) does not incurs a
Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated Companies until on or after the earliest of the dates specified in (a) through (d) of Section 6.02 or (B) incurs a Separation from Service with the Company and Affiliated
Companies prior to the earliest of the dates specified in (a) through (d) of Section 6.02 but the Chief Executive Officer of the Company makes a determination pursuant to Section 7.04 that no forfeiture shall be made, and
(b) an Optional Deferral Portion for which a deferral election under Section 5.02 has not been made, shall be paid at its value on the Valuation Date, as determined pursuant to Article VI.

 12 









	7.04	Forfeiture 

 Unless the Chief Executive Officer of
the Company shall otherwise determine, the Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award shall be forfeited, and no amount shall be payable to the Participant in respect of such portion, if the Participant incurs a Separation from Service with
the Company and Affiliated Companies, other than on or after the Participant’s Normal Retirement Age or by reason of death or Disability, prior to the fifth anniversary of the Award Date of such Incentive Award. Notwithstanding the prior
sentence, no forfeiture shall occur after the date a Change in Control occurs.

with such posthumous payment to be made within 60 days after the Participant’s death. 
  

	7.06	Payment Upon the Occurrence of a Change in Control 

 Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Participant shall automatically receive the value, as of the date the Change in Control occurs, of a number of shares of common stock of the Company equal to the number of Equivalent Stock

Separation from Service, any payment hereunder (including any provision or continued benefits) that is deemed to be a “deferral of compensation”
subject to Section 409A shall be paid on the fifteenth business day after the date that is six months following the Participant’s Separation from Service; provided, however, that a payment delayed pursuant to this clause
shall commence earlier in the event of a Participant’s death prior to the end of the six-month period. 
 ARTICLE VIII. ELECTIONS 

  

	8.01	Manner 

 The elections permitted to Participants by
Section 5.01 and Section 5.02 shall be made electronically or in writing signed by the Participant and delivered to the Plan Administrator. A separate election may be made with respect to each Incentive Award. An election made for any
Incentive Award shall govern all subsequent Incentive Awards, unless a new election is timely made as to subsequent Incentive Awards. 
  

	8.02	Timing 

 The elections pursuant to Section 5.01
and Section 5.02 with respect to any Incentive Award must be made no later than the last day of the second calendar year prior to the calendar year in which the Award Date occurs. An election may be changed at any time up to the deadline for
making such election, but not thereafter. 
  

	8.03	Presumptions 

 In the absence of a valid election to
the contrary by the Participant, the following presumptions shall apply: 
  

	 	(a)	The Participant elects not to defer any portion of the Mandatory Deferral Portion of an Incentive Award pursuant to Section 5.01 beyond the minimum mandatory deferral.

 ARTICLE IX. MISCELLANEOUS 
  

	9.01	Amendment and Termination 

 The Company reserves the
right, by action of the Board of Trustees, to terminate the Plan entirely, or to temporarily or permanently discontinue the making of awards under the Plan; and further reserves the right, by action of the Board of Trustees or the Plan
Administrator, to otherwise modify the Plan from time to time; provided that no such modification, termination, or discontinuance shall adversely affect the rights of Participants with respect to Incentive Awards previously determined; and provided
further, that no modification by action of the Plan Administrator shall have a material effect on the benefits payable under the Plan. Upon termination of the Plan, the Board of Trustees may elect to continue the Plan with respect to deferred
portions of Incentive Awards, or may elect to distribute immediately such deferred portions in single lump sum payments, with appropriate adjustments in valuation, as determined by the Board to the extent permitted by Section 409A. 

 

	9.02	Effect of Plan 

 The establishment and continuance
of the Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between the Company and any employee. No person shall have any claim to be granted an award under the Plan and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment of employees or Participants
under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken under the Plan shall be construed as giving to any employees the right to be retained in the employ of the Company, nor any right to examine the books of the Company, or to require an accounting.

  

	9.03	Withholding 

 The Company shall deduct from any
payment under the Plan any federal, state, or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payment. 
  

 15 









	9.04	Funding 

  

	 	(a)	All amounts payable in accordance with this Plan shall constitute a general unsecured obligation of the Company. Such amounts, as well as any administrative costs relating to the
Plan, shall be paid out of the general assets of the Company, to the extent not paid from the assets of any trust established pursuant to paragraph (b) below. 

  

	 	(b)	The Company may, for administrative reasons, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of Participants in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company shall, upon a
Potential Change in Control, establish a grantor trust for the benefit of the Participants in the Plan and shall fund such trust at a level at least equal to the liabilities of the Plan as of the day before the Potential Change in Control occurred.
The assets placed in such trust shall be held [separate and apart from other Company funds] and shall be used exclusively for the purposes set forth in the Plan and the applicable trust agreement, subject to the following conditions:


 (i) the creation of such trust shall not cause the Plan to be other than “unfunded” for purposes of
Title I of ERISA; 
 (ii) the Company shall be treated as “grantor” of such trust for purposes of
Section 677 of the Code; 
 (iii) the agreement of such trust shall provide that its assets may be used upon the
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company to satisfy claims of the Company’s general creditors and that the rights of such general creditors are enforceable by them under federal and state law, and 
 (iv) the establishment, operation and funding of the trust shall comply with applicable law, including, without limitation,
Section 409A. 
  

	9.05	Facility of Payment 

 In the event that the Plan
Administrator shall find that a Participant is unable to care for such Participant’s affairs because of illness or accident or because he or she is a minor or has died, the Plan Administrator may, unless claim shall have been made therefor by a
duly appointed legal representative, direct that any benefit payment due the Participant, to the extent not payable from a grantor trust, be paid on the Participant’s behalf to the Participant’s spouse, a child, a parent or other blood
relative, or to a person with whom the Participant resides or a legal guardian, and any such payment so made shall be a complete discharge of the liabilities of the Company and the Plan therefor. 
  

 16 









	9.06	Nonalienation 

 Subject to any applicable law, no
benefit under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, and any attempt to do so shall be void, nor shall any such benefit be in any manner liable for or subject
to garnishment, attachment, execution or levy, or liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefits. 
  

	9.07	Section 409A 

 This Plan is intended to satisfy
the applicable requirements of Section 409A and shall be performed and interpreted consistent with such intent. If the Plan Administrator determines in good faith that any provision of this Plan does not satisfy such requirements or could
otherwise cause any person to recognize additional taxes, penalties or interest under Section 409A, the Plan Administrator will modify, to the maximum extent practicable, the original intent of the applicable provision without violation of the
requirements of Section 409A (“Section 409A Compliance”), and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Plan Administrator shall have broad authority to amend or to modify the Plan, without advance notice to or
consent by any person, to the extent necessary or desirable to ensure Section 409A Compliance. Any determination by the Plan Administrator shall be final and binding on all parties.
