LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The International Tire & Rubber Association is offering members reduced utility rates through a combined purchasing program administered by Affiliated Power Purchasers International (APPI).
By leveraging ITRA members' purchasing power with other trade groups, ITRA said the new Energy Buyers Program can reduce utility costs in states that have deregulated the sale of electricity and natural gas.
APPI—not affiliated with any utility or energy-related company—is compensated only if it produces savings for program participants, ITRA said Feb. 19.
By handling utility purchases, APPI will enable participants to spend more time managing and growing their businesses, ITRA added.
