Chamber Energy Purchasing Cooperative

Spring Enrollment Beginning in February

Multiple wars, chaotic weather patterns, and the presidential campaign are and will continue to escalate utility prices. Protect Yourself! Join The Chamber Energy Co-Op today! The Chamber continues to partner with nationally recognized energy management experts and consultants, CQI Associates, to run the cooperative. Competitive rates are obtained by leveraging aggregated usage from members of 24 Chambers of Commerce.

This benefit is only available to Chamber members who receive their electric and/or natural gas services through Ameren.  If your business or organization is a substantial user of natural gas and/or electricity, significant savings can be realized on its annual utility costs.

Ameren Illinois customers have the choice of suppliers for their electric and natural gas contracts.  Electric can enroll at any time of the year.  For natural gas, you must be enrolled with a third-party gas supplier contract by March 8, 2024 for a May 1, 2024 gas contract start date.

Take advantage and sign up now for the 2024 Gas year!
