In today’s deregulated marketplace, you can choose a third party to supply your company’s electricity or natural gas needs. The challenge is to identify the low-cost supplier from the many registered to do business here in Connecticut.

Your ability to lock in the lowest available price for your supply is dependent on your ability to determine the best time to buy and who is offering the best price at that time. Quick, decisive action is required.

And that’s the problem!

The amount of time required to monitor the markets, investigate all available supplier prices - and make sure that you’ll receive the level of service you require - has made it nearly impossible to ever be in a position to get the best price.

How do we do it?

The CBIA Energy Connections program provides our members with the most efficient and effective gas or electricity purchase process available anywhere. We put market competition to work for you through our private, confidential and secure Internet auction site, where Connecticut-approved gas or electricity suppliers actively compete for your business with up-to-the-minute quotes. That means you’re getting the lowest price - every time!
