District Buying Power
Energy choice has been available to businesses for over ten years, but the process can be daunting. Most customers are focused on running their business and don’t have time to dig into energy spend. With energy being a top five expense for many businesses, energy savings should be a top goal. Leave the energy market research and supplier relations to the experts. District Buying Power will provide everything you need.
District Buying Power is endorsed by the District Government and the DOEE and is modeled on the long-term, successful, city-endorsed programs by Albireo Energy, Boston Buying Power and Philly Buying Power, which have operated for over 10 years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Albireo Energy has formed and operates energy buying groups throughout the country for public and private efforts. When you execute your contract, you are committed to a large database of eligible accounts and our systems will optimize your buying group and bring you to auction when the time is right. Our team monitors market conditions, supplier networks, products and services, as well as the aggregation makeup, to find optimal times to buy energy. When we execute on the best day, with the best group, and at the best deal, you receive your own supplier contract and next cycle the process starts all over again. You don’t need to do anything more…just enjoy the benefits.
While the District Buying Power program is intended for District businesses, any business is eligible to join, whether in Maryland, Virginia, or any other deregulated state. Your account(s) will be in different buying groups, specific to that market, but Albireo operates aggregations in all markets and will include you accordingly.
If your business is large enough to be a stand-alone purchase, District Buying Power can still help. We serve colleges, hospitals, industrials, large office buildings and many other accounts that operate outside of the buying groups. We will be happy to speak with you about a custom offering.
The most important thing to know about energy choice is that guaranteed savings do not exist. The energy markets are quite volatile and trade in dramatic swings. It is impossible to predict that you are buying at the low point, buying cheaper than utility rates, or couldn’t have gotten a better deal under any condition. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
The District Buying Power benefit will be in knowing: (1) your costs as a business owner; (2) that you got the best deal available at that time; and (3) that your account(s) are being professionally managed and opportunities to reduce your rates will not be missed.
