No. PSEG Long Island bills customers and operates and maintains the electric grid on Long Island and in the Rockaways under contract with the Long Island Power Authority (LIPA), the owner of the grid. This is a public-private model. The first contract was with KeySpan (later bought by National Grid) and after Superstorm Sandy the contract went to PSEG. Both partnerships have proven to be expensive and unreliable compared to both public and private utilities.
