    Benefits of Membership

    FREE, IMPARTIAL CONSULTATION

    We help our members to weigh their options, with no “skin in the game” ourselves. MPO acts as an expert, independent advisor, rather than an agent of vendors.

    THE POWER OF AGGREGATION

    Your purchasing power is augmented by the demand of your fellow members. All member organizations enjoy the same consideration by vendors, regardless of size.

    QUALIFIED SUPPLIERS

    All energy suppliers and service providers are pre-qualified for reliability, offering most favored customer terms to our members.

    FAVORABLE TERMS

    All agreements are negotiated by MPO staff and reviewed by legal counsel with our members’ best interests in mind. No hidden fees, penalties or “gotcha” clauses.

    VOLUNTARY PARTICIPATION

    No obligation to contract for any product or service offered. No exclusivity requirement.

    LEVERAGED BENEFITS

    Access to programs and services i.e. data analytics, solar and clean transportation offered by our sister program, PowerOptions of Massachusetts, through reciprocal membership.

    EDUCATION

    Monthly newsletters and webinars on timely energy topics. Access to market information to help you make informed decisions.

    CARBON REDUCTION OPTIONS

    Guidance on achieving “Maine Won’t Wait” carbon reduction goals through demand management, efficiency and renewable energy.

    SCOUTING FOR FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

    MPO staff research and assemble grants and other funding opportunities that members qualify for and list them on our members-only portal.
