We switched to the SOCA Benefit plan available through the Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce, and we saved over $100,000 annually on our premiums.

The Chamber Energy Program is Saving your members $$$

• A small community church was not aware that both their gas and electric agreements had expired and were now on variable rates more than double market rates. They were also paying sales tax on their natural gas bill even though they should be 100% exempt. They decided to sign up with the Chamber Energy Program and saved an estimated $5,000 annually.
• A restaurant unfortunately had signed an agreement at a higher-than-market rate prior to sending their bill for a review. The Chamber Energy Program team will help to monitor when it’s time to renew and help them to secure competitive rates when their contract is up.
• A home owner sent in their bills and were on a high variable rate because they were not aware that their contract had ended. The Chamber Energy Program was able to offer a lower rate which they chose to secure for 60 months, ultimately providing them long-term protection. They saved an estimated $1,200 annually.
• After reviewing bills for a home-based business, we found they were in long-term contracts at great rates. We recommended they stay on these low rates and will reach out to them when it gets closer to renewal to ensure they don’t move to a high month-to-month variable rate.
