We promise to tirelessly advocate for our members, while simplifying energy management by reducing spend, cost, and carbon footprint. Our ultimate objective is to support greener economic development.

 

Who We Are

 

Collaborative Energy Options is a public benefit corporation that was formed to deliver the intended benefits of energy deregulation to Municipal, Government, Healthcare and Nonprofit end users.  

It has been clear for some time that transaction-only “buying groups” and “consortiums” are obsolete.  Our platform introduces managed solutions and layers of strategy and compliance.  We are providing access to a truly competitive, managed solution so officials, administrators, compliance officers and budget-responsible staffers can be sure to get the most out of their energy dollars. It’s time municipal, government and nonprofits have the same access to cutting-edge programs that the private business sector has been enjoying for years.

CEO has a commitment to its membership that our programs will always have top-tier, best-in-class competitive resources available through its partnerships with various market participants.
