Join the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative

 

There has been significant volatility in the energy market since October, 2024. The partnership the Chamber has with CQI Associates offering the Energy Purchasing Cooperative Program is here to help alleviate some of the challenges your organization is facing as a result of this volatility.

The Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative increases purchasing power, allowing members to receive lower rates than they could typically attain on their own. The program provides competitive electric and natural gas rates for your business.

Review your current invoice and if you are on the current utility rate or are paying more in your current contract than the posted utility rate, contact CQI Associates for an no obligation rate assessment.

This is a free benefit to chamber members!

Contact Don Park at don@cqiassociates.com or 410-707-3297 or Jennie Anderson at jennie@cqiassociates.com or 443-472-1434 to get started on your energy savings journey.

For members currently in the Cooperative Program, renewal campaign is now open for all contracts up for renewal through June, 2026

CQI is a nationally recognized energy and sustainability management consulting firm based in Woodstock, Maryland. Since 1995, CQI has provided services to over 5,000 businesses, consumers, municipalities, school systems, and chambers of commerce.

The Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative and Energy Advisory Service winter/spring renewal member program is underway.
