• Credible energy management counsel from a firm vetted by SOCA
• Local experts with national expertise
Why offer the Chamber Energy Program to your members?
Community Energy Advisors (CEA) is a Public Utilities Commission of Ohio
(PUCO) certified energy management firm that educates and empowers
organizations to maximize the economics of their energy assets. By staying one
step ahead of changes in the energy industry and utilizing analytics, advanced
tariff modeling and reporting, CEA delivers a multitude of energy management
solutions that positively impact customers’ utility bill costs.
About Community Energy Advisors
EDUCATIONThe regulated and deregulated energy markets are increasingly complex. To aid your members in remaining proactive, making informed decisions, and budgeting their utility expenses, we provide timely and relevant information such as:• Changes and trends in the energy marketplace
• New regulations and rates that will impact their utility bills
• News stories that can impact energy costs
• Efficiency tips
PROTECTIONTo help protect your members from scams, fraudulent activity, and unexpected costs, we provide informative emails, blog posts, and seminars regarding:• Their rights as an energy consumer
• How to handle solicitation and door to door activity
• Key contract terms that can protect your members from unexpected and costly increases
• Active scams and fraud in your Chamber’s area
• Avoiding overlapping contracts and associated termination fees
SAVINGSPaying more than they should for electricity and natural gas can add up to thousands of lost dollars that your members could be investing back into their business. We ensure your members are paying the most competitive market rates by:
• Shopping members together to create “market power”, driving suppliers to compete for their business
• Using multiple supplier bids to achieve the best price in the market - not the best price of just one supplier
• Monitoring dynamic energy markets to identify savings opportunities
• Managing contract expiration dates to avoid cancel fees and inflated auto-renewal rates
