"With the help of Pepco and the Council of Industry, we were able to lock into a rate for 2008 and 2009 that fit nicely into our budget and we were pleased. When we saw what happened to energy prices in the first part of 2008 we were ecstatic."

Worker’s Compensation Program

Earlier this summer the Council of Industry Board of Directors endorsed a workers’ compensation & employer’s liability program for our membership from Applied Underwriters and The Reis Group.  The program is group based but individually underwritten.  Underwriting criteria is very strict and only those members most committed to a safe workplace will be able to participate.  Most of our members will meet these strict criteria and we therefore believe this program will result in significant savings to those who choose to participate.

 

To learn more about the program, find out if you are eligible and receive a quote contact Harold King at (845) 565-1355 hking@councilofindustry.org or Paul Casciaro of the Reis Group (845-338-4656) or paul@reisinsurance.com or follow this link www.reisinsurance.com.

Demand Response Program
The Council of Industry in conjunction with the company Comverge, Inc., will offer a NYISO (New York Independent Service Operators) demand response program to reduce system wide energy demand on peak usage days. Every summer the “grid” gets taxed to it limits as hot weather means more air-conditioning and greater electricity usage. NYISO needs to ensure the reliability of the grid and often asks companies to reduce their usage during these peak times.

Comverge provides innovative solutions to significantly reduce peak electricity costs and increase grid reliability. This is done through Virtual Peak Capacity programs, load management and control systems, back up generation, real time energy data collection and management and other cost-saving initiatives. In fact Council members may be able to take advantage of various NYISO programs which provide financial incentives to participants who are able to shed electrical loads in response to either market price or capacity criteria.
