This is an excellent time for members to join the Chamber of Commerce
Energy Purchasing Co-op program to seek electricity and natural gas supply services for your commercial electricity and/or natural gas accounts. Electricity and natural gas rates are at record lows and this is the time to lock your supply services into a contract.
Members who have not yet joined the cooperative are invited to join the Frederick County Chamber Energy Co-op to reduce energy costs.
The Chamber invites businesses of any size to join the Chamber energy purchasing cooperative to increase your purchasing power in procuring electricity and natural gas at the most competitive rates for budget stability and savings. Chamber Members in the program receive better pricing than they can individually. In addition, the program also saves individual Members the time and expense of trying to choose a supplier on their own.
The application fee is $150.00 – this covers all of your electricity and natural gas accounts for all locations.
The Frederick County Chamber is holding a free information meeting that will fully explain the benefits of the energy co-op on the following date:
