The School and Municipal Energy Cooperative of Western New York (SMEC) fosters collaboration between municipal agencies and school districts to:

• save taxpayers money on energy costs,
• reduce duplication of effort and administration, and
• explore new opportunities for collaboration amongst its members.

SMEC's aggregate approach to commodity purchasing for electric and gas reduces utility bills for its members. Since the cooperative's inception in 1998, SMEC has saved its members millions of dollars.

SMEC is in compliance with all state and federal regulations, including New York State General Municipal Law Article 5-G and Section 119-o.
