ENERGY CO-OP CAN SAVE ON UTILITY COSTS

Fall Campaign Sign Up Starts In September

Have you looked at your utility bill lately?

Are you concerned about how much you are spending?

The Chamber continues to partner with nationally recognized energy management experts, CQI Associates, to administer and manage the Chamber’s Energy Purchasing Cooperative. Competitive rates are obtained by leveraging aggregated usage from members of 24 Chambers of Commerce. The group purchasing power allows members to receive lower rates than they could typically attain on their own.

This benefit is only available to Chamber members who receive their electric and/or natural gas services through Ameren. If your business or organization is a substantial user of natural gas and/or electricity, significant savings can be realized on its annual utility costs.

CQI’s 25-plus years of experience with proven results provides the best option for stabilizing your utility expenses. There is no better time for members to enroll in the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative Program and gain price stability, budget control and peace-of-mind.

Additional co-op benefits include having an organization that monitors energy market changes and negotiates on your behalf. The co-op also offers options to obtain up to 100% clean, renewable, wind-powered electricity. Signing up is easy and free to members.

If you would like an estimate on your company’s savings, contact David Earhart at (217) 525-1173 ext. 215 or dearhart@gscc.org. For the estimate of savings, companies will need to complete a Letter of Authorization (download at www.gscc.org/member-savings) and provide a recent copy of their utility bill. For questions or specific details, please contact Shelby Dupont with CQI Associates at shelby@cqiassociates.com or (217) 521-9400.
