Dear Chamber Members,

The Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce is aware of numerous unscrupulous energy companies using deceiving tactics to attempt to secure both commercial and residential energy accounts.  Common techniques include telemarketing calls asking for copies of energy bills (generally your PPL Distribution monthly bill) and or information on your current energy supplier.  Please be careful!

We have seen where in attempting to procure energy accounts, these tactics have resulted in long term higher energy costs, sometimes with a temporary short-term “teaser electric price” but with variable rates that quickly escalate and with hidden costs and contract terms.  Many times this results in a contractual obligation that costs the commercial or residential account significant expense above the best market rate and terms.

The Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce has only partnered with World Kinect Energy Services (formerly OnDemand Energy Solutions) for the last 15 years with professional energy (electric and natural gas) consultation---meaning best pricing coupled with fixed contract terms.  We stand by the reputation of World Kinect Energy Services to serve our chamber members and the residents of our greater Schuylkill County community with the best energy rates on the market year after year.

We caution you about any telemarketing or energy outreach in local supermarkets or shopping areas.  Proceed with caution!  The Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce is happy to acquire FREE consultation for your personal or business/nonprofit energy procurement by calling the Chamber at 1-570-622-1942 or emailing Renee Buchanan, Member Relation Services Director at rbuchanan@schuylkillchamber.com.  There is absolutely no charge or obligation to utilize the World Kinect Energy Services consultation and we know that their consultation provides the best energy advice and customer service available in the energy market today, as it has for the last 15 years.

Thank you for your attention as we work to protect our members and our residents in achieving the best energy procurement possible.

Sincerely,

Robert S. Carl, Jr.
President & CEO 
Schuylkill Chamber of Commerce
