Are rising energy costs wreaking
havoc on your bottom line? 

Maryland businesses are feeling the effects of deregulated natural gas and electricity prices.  Current pricing is being driven by reduced US refinery production, increased US and China consumption, international terrorism, an unprecedented hurricane season in the Gulf, and delays in passing energy legislation.  In the midst of all this bad news, there is good news for Maryland businesses.

The Baltimore Washington Corridor Chamber (BWCC) has developed an energy cooperative and has gained significant experience in assisting BWCC members in purchasing electricity in a deregulated market.  Increased purchasing power and a competitive bid process help members save money and enjoy long-term budget stability.

The Energy Purchasing Cooperative pools the buying power of commercial customers to procure energy at the best available competitive market price.  The program also saves individual BWCC members time and expense in choosing a supplier on their own.  Members participating in the program also gain useful information on reducing consumption through the implementation of an energy management program.
