Champion Energy Services Announces Contract with Champaign County Chamber Co-op

Champion Energy Services, through its partnership with Branded Retail Energy Company, announced this morning that it has recently completed a multi-year electricity aggregation contract with over 150 business members of the Champaign County (Illinois) Chamber of Commerce Energy Cooperative.

Champion Energy Services said that an important additional feature of the aggregation contract was its direct benefit to the Fighting Illini Energy program (see 4/21), so that in addition to the electricity savings to the energy cooperative members, it also provides financial support to the University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics.

"Chambers of Commerce provide value added products and services for their membership," commented Laura Weis, president and chief executive officer of the Champaign County Chamber of Commerce, a business association of over 1,200 members. "By partnering with Champion Energy and Fighting Illini Energy, we have been able to help our participating members experience instant value in their membership through bottom line savings on their electric utility costs."

Champion Energy Services serves 1,000,000 residential customer equivalents, with a peak load near 2,600 megawatts.
