A New Cost-Saving Opportunity for Catholic School Employees 

Maryland's deregulation laws provide energy choice options, allowing you to lower the supply portion of your utility bill by switching to a licensed 3rd party supplier. Through a unique relationship with our local energy consulting firm, CQI Associates, the Mid Atlantic Catholic School Consortium is excited to offer their residential energy cooperative to our Catholic school employees, families and friends.

How Does the Cooperative Reduce Energy Costs?

Purchasing cooperatives stimulate competition for electricity or natural gas supply services in the residential marketplace. By leveraging the combined purchasing power of the group over that of the individual, the Consortium's cooperative will be able to obtain competitive pricing. Cooperatives are cost efficient because technical support, expertise, and other costs are shared by the group.

Working with CQI Associates, the Consortium’s energy purchasing cooperative will select a licensed energy supplier that is offering to sell electricity or natural gas at a lower price than the Standard Offer Service Rate offered by the local utility company. This will reduce the cost of your electric and/or natural gas supply (it will not reduce the cost of the delivery service provided by your local utility). The energy market is favorable, so enroll now to attain competitive rates.
