Letter from ChamberChoice:
As many of you are aware, First Energy Solutions (FES) was a significant partner for the ChamberChoice Energy Program, providing small meter exclusive products over the past several years. First Energy has announced that they will be honoring all contracts currently in place through the end of the contract period. Therefore, for all small business meters under contract with FES, nothing will change through the end of the contract period.
OnDemand Energy Solutions is actively contacting all customers who are due to expire with FES contracts in the near future.
The strength of the ChamberChoice Energy Program has always been centered around educating members on the deregulated energy markets and providing the broadest array of solutions and choices through a third party consultant, OnDemand Energy. Even with the departure of the above mentioned utility affiliate, OnDemand Energy continues to work with over 25 third party suppliers and is committed to developing solutions for all meter types. The ChamberChoice Energy Program already has multiple solutions in place for renewing the business meters currently with FES.
While FES was a major supplier for over 15 years in Pennsylvania, the deregulated energy market remains very strong with many choices and product options continuing to evolve at a rapid pace. Never before has there been such a great opportunity for members to utilize and take advantage of an independent third party consultant. Larger industrial and institutional users of energy may have previously shopped directly with one of the major utility affiliates, but they now will need to find another solution for their energy needs going forward. This is an opportune time in Western PA to reach out to these types of users and make them aware of the ChamberChoice Energy Program.
As OnDemand Energy continues to find solutions for all meter types, including the residential program, we will keep the chambers informed. We appreciate your support of the energy program, and the continued changes occurring in the marketplace are only making the consultant based energy program all the more valuable for your members.
Sincerely,
OnDemand Energy
