Topic:  The Ten Most Common Energy Purchasing Mistakes

 

Back in November Scott Schultz and Danny Jackson spoke to the group on Reverse Auction for Electricity.  TJ Ermoian came as a guest with John Merkh, and on his survey he commented that he would like to address the group about a different strategy for purchasing electricity.  “I bet you thought I never read the surveys”.  

 

Note: the day and time for this meeting are different from our usual time.  We are going to try lunch time meetings from now on and see if the time will work better for more members.  Hope you can come.  This is the last meeting until August 2009.
