Since October 2024, energy market volatility has created new challenges for businesses of all sizes. The Howard County Chamber is proud to offer a valuable solution through our partnership with CQI Associates: the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative Program.

This exclusive member benefit helps your business lower utility costs by leveraging collective buying power — so you can secure competitive electric and natural gas rates that are often better than what you could get on your own.

 

Why Join the Energy Co-op?

✅ Access Competitive Rates
Group purchasing means better pricing. By joining the co-op, your business can take advantage of significantly reduced electricity and natural gas rates.

✅ No Obligation Assessment
Not sure what you’re paying? Submit your current energy invoice for a free, no-obligation rate comparison. If you’re currently on a standard utility rate or paying more than posted rates, you could be saving right now.

✅ A Free Benefit for Members
There’s no cost to participate for Howard County Chamber members — just savings and peace of mind.
