Lower Your Home's
Monthly Utility
Bills:
Join the Residential
Energy Co-Op
Open to all employees of Chamber member organizations
CQI Associates
created the
Residential Energy
Co-Op to help
residents of
Maryland, The
District of
Columbia, and
Delaware save money
on their utilities
by providing the
most competitive
rates available for
electricity and
natural gas. In the
past, you had to
purchase natural gas
or electricity from
your local utility
company at prices
authorized by the
state’s Public
Service Commission.
You didn’t have a
choice.
Thanks to
deregulation, you
may now purchase
this service from
any provider you
want and immediately
begin to reduce the
costs of your
utility bill. CQI
Associates has a
unique business
model: Instead of
each individual
household calling a
third party supplier
and negotiating
rates based on that
one home’s own load
of kWh usage, CQI
has pre-negotiated
the most competitive
rates in the
marketplace, which
are based on the
volume of business
the entire co-op
brings to the
supplier.
Your local
utility (BGE, PEPCO,
Alleghany Power/Potomac Edison or
Delmarva Power) continues
to distribute power
to your home,
maintains the lines,
pipes, and reads
your meter. In case
of an outage,
they’ll handle the
situation.
Nothing related
to your billing will
change. You continue
to receive one bill
from your utility,
which will include
the new third party
supply charges.
Clients on budget
billing and Peak
Rewards can remain
on those programs.
