Honesty. Transparency. Accountability. Flexibility. This is our DNA. The principles that define who we are as a not-for-profit, that distinguish us from the other players in the field, and that — forgive the less-than-humble perspective — make us the better option for your business. Our “strength in numbers” strategy, which lets us buy energy for your electricity at the lowest price, has consistently outperformed the regulated utilities in New York. The savings are then passed on to you. And you, in turn, pass on positive reviews to other business owners who come aboard and help create even greater savings for the Co-op. Ah, the circle of savings.
