Save on Utlity Bills : Residential and Commercial Properties
URGENT: Prices are Rising
Join the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative
The Northwest Chamber of Commerce has partnered with energy management experts, CQI Associates, to administer and manage the Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative since 2004. The increased purchasing power of the Chamber Purchasing Cooperative has allowed members to receive lower rates than they could typically attain on their own.
The Clean Energy Jobs-Renewable Portfolio Standard Bill implemented by the Maryland Legislature on May 23, 2019 could result in increased electricity rates by 14% to 18%. The Bill contains an option to avoid this increase if a contract is signed prior to October 1, 2019. Therefore, seeking a long-term contract extension (or a new contract) now could help you avoid a potential cost increase.
If your current rate is higher than $0.072 per kWh or $0.50 per therm, you may want to consider joining the cooperative and participating in this next round of competitive supplier pricing. The current campaign begins June 24, 2019 for both new participants and renewal members who have contract renewal dates through to June 2021.
TO ENROLL IN THE ENERGY COOPERATIVE:
1. Complete and sign the attached Letter of Authorization
2. Provide one copy of your most recent Utility bill(s), all pages, for all electricity and or natural gas accounts you are enrolling
3. Scan and email copies of the above documents to Jennie Anderson at
jennie@cqiassociates.com or fax to 410-630-5911
4. Send the original documents to the Chamber
5. APPLICATION DEADLINE IS JULY 29, 2019
If you have any questions or require additional details, please contact Joe Tabeling with CQI Associates at joe@cqiassociates.com or 443-472-3870.

Olszewski Unveils Open Budget Platform
New platform brings unprecedented transparency to the county budget
Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski unveiled a new open budget platform where residents can view detailed information about the county’s budget, bringing a new level of transparency to how the county spends taxpayer dollars.
Residents can visit the Baltimore County Open Budget platform and explore the county budget or search for specific programs and services. The platform features information on revenue and expenditures, including both operating and capital expenses.
The current open budget platform represents a first phase. Later this year, in addition to the county’s current approved budget, the platform will feature previous years’ budgets. It will also have the ability to track actual expenditures in addition to appropriated funds.
In addition, earlier this year the County Executive proposed and the County Council approved the creation of an Office of Ethics and Accountability. The Fiscal Year 2020 budget includes funds for this office, which will be charged with evaluating and investigating government operations in order to promote efficiency and prevent fraud, waste and abuse.
