COSE Electric Savings Program
Have You Started Saving on Your Electric Bill?
COSE is happy to announce that it is once again able to offer significant savings on electric generation costs for all COSE and Greater Cleveland Partnership member businesses and their employees. These savings are on top of already reduced rates that came as a result of a recent electric auction in May 2009 that lowered rates 12% - 16% throughout Northeast Ohio.
Ready to Enroll?
Quick and easy online enrollment
in the COSE Electric Savings Program is open for all individuals and businesses that are NOT located in a NOPEC (Northeast Ohio Public Utilities Commission) community.
The opt-out period for NOPEC communities is closed. If you did not yet opt-out or choose another program, submitting an enrollment for the COSE program could result in a significant NOPEC cancelation fee.

Are You a "Large User"?
Most companies with a yearly usage of more than 199 kilowatt hours of electricity are considered to be "large users", and would NOT have been included in the NOPEC aggregation or other community aggregations. If you are a large user you are eligible to take advantage of the significant savings of the COSE program.
To find out if you are a "large user" or to request a lager user enrollment form, please contact Nicole Stika at nstika@cose.org or (216) 592-2338 .
