People across the Hudson Valley say their energy bills have soared this winter, and in some cases, have more than doubled.

A spokesperson for Con Edison says several factors, like the cost of natural gas and the weather, directly led to higher energy costs. While they say the company doesn't make a profit on natural gas, it does pass the wholesale price increase to the customer.

This January was colder than last year, with temperatures down by almost 5 degrees on average, meaning more people were heating their homes.

Daryl Lindholm, of Yorktown Heights, says the cost of electricity went up more than 200% between December and January. She's fed up with the price hike that came along with it.

"We want to go to assisted living. I don't think we'll be able to afford it,” Lindholm says.
