Enroll in the Chamber of Commerce Commercial Energy Purchasing Co-Op:
The Howard County Chamber of Commerce developed an energy purchasing cooperative program in 2006to help Chamber memberspurchase electricity in a deregulated market. The contracts provide long-term savings and budget stability. Members who signed contracts for service starting in 2006 are currently paying 16% less than if they had remained with BGE on the Standard Offer Service rate. The Department of Energy estimates that electricity prices will go up 14% per year for the next five years. Chamber Co-op members are not impacted by the increases during the terms of their contracts. Chamber members with commercial utility accounts are eligible to participate in the Commercial Energy Co-Op.
