Introducing Small Business and Residential Power Program!
You asked for it, and we found it! It's time to stop
procrastinating...If you haven't "flipped the switch" on
selecting an electricity provider, NOW is the time! The Upper
Bucks Chamber just launched a residential and small business
electricity program that can save you money on your electricity
bill at home and at work. The program not only saves you money
on your electricity bill, but it also offers $2000/year in
rewards that save you money on goods and services that you would
normally purchase at full price! Two other great features to
this program are an environmental “green” component and ongoing
contributions to support educational/leadership programs within
our community.
