Energy Cooperative
Commercial Energy CO-OP
When commercial energy purchasing was deregulated in Maryland in 2004, the Queen Anne's County Chamber of Commerce partnered with CQI Associates to establish a Commercial Energy Purchasing Cooperative for its members. Since then, the Queen Anne's County Chamber of Commerce - CQI Energy Cooperative has helped hundreds of area businesses realize long-term budget stability and savings. In fact, since its inception, CQI Associates has assisted over 19,000 businesses with over 34,000 utility accounts in several states lower their utility bills.
