ECA History
Since its inception in 1997, the Energy Cooperative has grown to encompass all regions of New York State and parts of Pennsylvania – providing its members with electricity and natural gas at the lowest possible costs. This has benefited countless businesses, industries, civic groups, churches and residences. It has also contributed to a strong commitment to the communities and regions of its members that leads to more economic and financial stability for New York State and Pennsylvania.

Currently the Cooperative has over 4,000 members including over 10,000 service accounts around the state. We serve the following utility areas and look to expand this to all public utility territories in the near future: National Fuel Gas, National Grid, New York State Electric & Gas, Rochester Gas & Electric, Con-Edison, and PPL.

As the only truly not-for-profit entity, Energy Cooperative of America is attracting the attention of large commercial accounts along with national accounts across New York State and Pennsylvania. Our growth rate has been dynamic – including small users and high-volume customers – and we have developed a favorable relationship with the New York Public Service Commission and the Pennsylvania Utility Commission.

Even in tough economic conditions, the Energy Cooperative provides its members with a “turn-key approach” to manage their utility budget. Our conservative buying strategy and “strength in numbers” strategy has consistently outperformed the regulated utilities in New York. We view our Cooperative as a family and take care to treat all accounts personally.
