"Our expertise and insights will help the association members, both current and new, manage their energy needs and explore sustainable solutions, while getting more budget certainty and pricing flexibility.”
Since 1870 Sprague has helped businesses meet their energy and material handling needs to prosper in tomorrow’s markets.

"One of the largest expenses for any hotel is energy, and over the past 15 years more and more energy consultants started popping up which makes it difficult for hoteliers to know who to trust. This year, the New York State Hospitality & Tourism Association decided to take the guesswork out of the process and exclusively partner, at the Preferred Program level, with Sprague," said NYSH&TA President, Mark Dorr. "They have been saving our members money and setting up long-term energy strategies for several years and we wanted to take our partnership and endorsement to the next level."
