ACES

The Alliance for Competitive Energy Services (ACES) has saved school districts more than $250 million on energy bills over the last decade by leveraging electricity and natural gas procurement efforts. Since 1999, the Alliance for Competitive Energy Services (ACES) has procured electricity and natural gas at discounted prices for New Jersey schools.

With more than 500 member districts, charter schools, and municipalities, the Alliance for Competitive Energy Services (ACES) is the largest energy aggregation program in the state. ACES provides access to cleaner, less expensive energy and is the first program of its kind in New Jersey.

Membership in ACES is a dues-based benefit of NJSBA membership. Check to see if your district or school belongs to ACES.

The New Jersey School Boards Association is pleased to now provide counties, municipalities, and other local contracting units who wish to voluntarily participate with access to the NJSBA Cooperative Pricing System.
