It’s Budget Season — Is Your Electricity Contract Part of the Plan?
As you build your budget for the year ahead, now’s the time to take a close look at your electricity contract. Energy is one of the top five expenses for most municipal entities, and reviewing your terms, renewal timeline, and pricing now helps you plan with confidence.
As the Pennsylvania Municipal League’s endorsed energy supplier through the Municipal Utility Alliance (MUA), Constellation helps local governments gain budget certainty and identify savings — even if your current contract still has time remaining.
Contact Matthew Shortall, Senior Business Development Manager, at 443-602-5755 or matthew.shortall@constellation.com to learn more.
