Stamford, Connecticut, February 26, 2019 – Tradition Energy announced today that it has entered into an agreement with the Hartford-based, Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) to provide energy risk management and procurement services to educational agencies and towns throughout the state of Connecticut.

CREC operates as a non-profit entity organized primarily to support educational agencies (currently 35 school districts and 36 towns), and to promote cost-saving opportunities to all school districts and towns in Connecticut through its cooperative purchasing programs.

Connecticut school districts and towns can benefit from Tradition Energy’s experience helping more than 350 local government and non-profit organizations nationwide reduce and control their energy expenditures. The CREC members will receive the most competitive energy procurement pricing available by utilizing Tradition’s current contract with OMNIA Partners, Public Sector (subsidiary U.S. Communities), the nation’s largest cooperative purchasing organization dedicated to public sector procurement. Tradition Energy is the exclusive energy consulting and management supplier to participants of OMNIA Partners, Public Sector.

“We are thrilled to be providing our services to Connecticut schools and towns supported by CREC,” said Alan Kurzer, CEO, Tradition Energy. “Reducing and stabilizing operating costs like electricity and natural gas can go a long way in helping CREC members use more of their financial resources to meet the educational needs of children and adults,” Mr. Kuzer added.
