Energy Procurement and Management
In response to the expiration of electric rate caps for the entirety of Pennsylvania in late 2008, AICUP, with the assistance of Utility Solutions Inc., developed a long-term electricity procurement program for use by its member institutions. The intent of the program is to mitigate possible cost increases and provide long-term price stability. Following a competitive RFP process, Constellation NewEnergy, Inc and Sempra Energy Solutions (now Noble Americas Energy Solutions, or “Noble”) were selected by AICUP as its endorsed suppliers.
AICUP members may continue to receive pricing under this program. It is USI’s recommendation that all members continue to obtain pricing for periods beyond the length of their current agreements. If market conditions are favorable,
then the institution should consider locking in pricing for these extension periods.
