Energy Purchasing Cooperative Programs
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!

Have you looked at your utility bill lately? Are you concerned about how much you are spending?
We are slowly getting back to some type of normalcy as businesses reopen. However, unprecedented temperatures and multiple tropical storms across the US continue to escalate utility prices. 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.
The Chamber of Commerce has partnered with nationally recognized energy management experts, CQI Associates, to administer and manage the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative. Competitive rates are obtained by leveraging aggregated usage from members of 23 Chambers of Commerce. The group purchasing power allows members to receive lower rates than they could typically attain on their own.
Since 2004, the Cooperative electricity rates have been lower than both market rates and the weighted annual utility standard offer service rates. During our previous campaigns, participants saw an average annual savings of $4,000. Natural gas rates were also lower on average than market rates and utility monthly winter peak indexed rates.
TAKE ACTION REGISTER NOW in the current campaign which runs from September 6, 2021 to October 1, 2021.
