Electric Procurement Services How it works: PSFEI s certified energy professionals continually monitor electricity market conditions and determine the best times to shop for electricity. They aggregate appropriate loads to obtain the lowest pricing from suppliers who have agreed to the commonwealth s terms and conditions. This means you get the best pricing on terms that protect you. It s that simple. Since 2009, the Penn State Facilities Engineering Institute (PSFEI) has provided electricity procurement services for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania resulting in savings of over 119 million dollars. Now, PSFEI and the PA Department of General Service Bureau of Procurement (DGS-BOP) want to bring these savings opportunities to all COSTARS members.
