Energy Cooperative of America is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative established in 1997 to aggregate purchasing power for energy buyers. Operating across 10 utility territories in New York State and Pennsylvania, it serves 7,500 members by purchasing energy at wholesale prices and passing all savings directly to members. The cooperative offers natural gas, electricity, renewable energy options (wind, hydro, biomass), community solar subscriptions, and demand response/energy management services. As a consumer cooperative, all net savings are returned to members rather than enriching shareholders. The organization maintains an open-book financial model and provides energy savings reports to members comparing actual costs against regulated utility rates.
