“The Shorebirds and Arthur W. Perdue Stadium have worked with APPI Energy for the past several years on managing our energy costs. Working with APPI Energy has always been a pleasure and an easy experience. Our relationship has enabled the Shorebirds to secure competitive bids for our electricity and lock in for a period of time that best matched our goals. Annually, we have been able to reduce the cost of the electricity we use, lock in prices to better stabilize our expenses, and work with our facility and staff to reduce usage. This combination has enabled the Shorebirds to annually reduce a major expense item.”

My consultant identifies the best time for me to lock in my next supplier contract, and the customer service team checks in with me on a regular basis to ensure my satisfaction. I’ve benefited from APPI Energy’s electricity procurement services, and now my consultant is helping me explore natural gas opportunities.”
“Working with APPI Energy since 2006, the independent consultant firm has helped us with everything from reconciling our past bills to consolidating current bills. Our energy consultant has assisted us for several years with negotiating renewal agreements, monitoring the forward markets, and making recommendations on when to lock in future pricing. We receive cold calls and door knocks from so-called energy consultants, but we’ll continue working with APPI Energy because the firm consistently provides budget certainty, year after year.”

“A couple of months before the PPL rate caps were to expire for electricity, we were inundated by several organizations. For weeks on end I was hounded by a direct supplier that insisted he could get me a better price than the program brought to me through the PAA because he was, after all, a direct supplier, not a consultant. This gentleman was relentless in his calls to me and finally I agreed for him to submit a price to me. In the meantime, I had been working with APPI Energy, the endorsed energy procurement company by the PAA. With APPI Energy I was part of the plan and solution, and they worked on my timetable and on my behalf. The best part was that APPI Energy provided me with a much better price than the direct supplier. The PAA programs have always proved invaluable to our organization and this one was no different. I recommend the APPI/PAA energy procurement plan to all PAA members. ”
“Galaxy 66 Bar & Grille has taken advantage of APPI Energy’s consulting services since 2006. They force many suppliers to compete for our business on our timetable. Now, APPI Energy is helping us add on a meter to our account for our recently expanded rooftop bar and dining area, the Skye Bar.”

They've been very helpful in this process, and I hope they know how much we appreciate their efforts.”
“As we became aware of the significant savings which we might achieve in our electric cost we also quickly recognized that we had access to an excellent energy consultant. Not only was APPI Energy endorsed by the Maryland Bankers Association as its exclusive energy consultant, it was also endorsed locally by the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce. APPI Energy took care of everything from collecting our use, gathering bids from various electricity suppliers, and explaining the price and contract differences in understandable language.

Completely satisfied with APPI Energy's electricity procurement services, we're now ready to move forward with natural gas management.”
“One of the cornerstones of our endorsement of APPI Energy is their record for dependability, quality of service and strength in the marketplace.

“APPI Energy’s member benefit helps Maryland Nonprofit organizations reduce and manage their energy expenses. As a Maryland Nonprofit organization, I was contacted by APPI Energy to discuss this valuable service for our organization. APPI Energy helped me accomplish two critical goals that we had in 2009, 1) reduce our electricity costs and 2) include green energy in our total energy usage. I initially thought these two goals were unachievable, but the experts at APPI Energy delivered and exceeded my expectations. Because APPI Energy has such strength in the market, they were able to reduce my total energy costs and include green energy for our organization. I would recommend that every Maryland Nonprofit member contact APPI Energy. ”
“Working with APPI Energy was a simple and seamless process. We received multiple electricity quotes from our Utility Consultant and she’d recommended on several occasions that we stay with our utility as market conditions were not favorable. She pledged to contact us again once there was an opportunity to enter the competitive market. As promised, we were contacted immediately and a lower rate was negotiated on our behalf. I would absolutely recommend APPI Energy to other ASAE members.”
“I first became aware of APPI Energy through the Pennsylvania Bankers Association (PBA). We are very active with the PBA and have been very pleased with any services that PBA Services Corporation has offered to the members, and this program was no different.

“With the rate caps expiring at the end of the year, we knew we needed to research competitive pricing for our electricity supply. CBICC endorsed APPI Energy, and these services were offered through the chamber as a member benefit. The process was simple, and the competitive price was better than the current tariff rate so we started in October. Why wait until the end of the year?”
“With the PPL electricity tariff rate caps expiring on Jan 1, 2010, we knew we needed to research competitive pricing for our electricity supply. Our situation is unique in that, not only are we a quasi-governmental entity, we are located in two counties both of which had to approve our recommendation. We chose APPI Energy to help our airport get the best possible contract terms and conditions- and best price. They provided us multiple solutions to take to the counties for final approval. APPI Energy’s knowledge and education proved invaluable as we presented our energy solution to the counties. With approval from the counties, we moved forward with a favorable contract for 2010 and subsequently entered into another agreement, which has already paid off and with which we anticipate saving even more money, using APPI Energy as our consultant. The process is simple and I recommend that all ACP members use APPI Energy.”
“After the rate caps expired for my utility on January 1, 2010, our electricity supply cost went up almost 20%. APPI Energy had contacted us previously as an ARTBA member benefit, but not knowing how we would be affected by the rate caps expiring I wasn’t ready to make a switch. It didn’t take long of this new “Default Tariff Rate” to convince me otherwise. I contacted APPI Energy and within one month they were able to negotiate a much better rate and lock us into a fixed price contract for 24 months. The process is simple with no upfront costs or fees and the transition was seamless. I recommend all ARTBA members use APPI Energy as your energy expert.”
“We (Plymouth Tube Company) have been working with APPI Energy since an FMA introduction in 2005. The process was simple with no upfront cost.

Plymouth Tube Company is an eco-friendly, responsible corporate citizen and this program is another example of Plymouth Tube’s commitment and dedication to customers, employees and the community.”
“MD Nonprofits has always had reliable members benefits, so when MD was deregulating, APPI Energy was a great fit. Providence Center has been working with APPI Energy since 2007. The process couldn’t be easier. In our current electricity agreement the electric price reduction should be substantial. Some of the other benefits that we are enjoying are the outstanding market intelligence and customer service that APPI Energy provides. Their expertise negotiated favorable supply contracts for all of our facilities. I would encourage any Maryland Nonprofit member to contact APPI Energy today. ”

Now with a fixed price we have budget certainty. I recommend all NAM members use APPI Energy to save money and create budget certainty in these uncertain times.”
