Governor Cuomo is asking the Public Service Commission if the utility company's license can be revoked.
The governor claims National Grid is trying to force the state to support a new natural gas pipeline by refusing to provide natural gas service to 11-hundred people downstate.
He's now asking the PSC to have someone keep an eye on how National Grid operates.
In a statement, the PSC said it's taking the governor's request seriously and will take any steps needed to punish National Grid.
A National Grid spokesperson says the company is working to reconnect affected customers.
