CMS Energy Advisors

Thirty years ago, our founder got a letter explaining that gas markets had been deregulated and he now had a choice for service. Problem was, there was no place to go that explained the options. So, in 1989 Doug Betzold opened the doors of CMS and began providing customers with unparalleled consulting services and competitive pricing for their energy needs. Today we serve over 110 Pacific Northwest customers from manufacturing and food processing plants to medical facilities and local government entities; each with varying volume and load requirements, firm capacity needs and pricing structures.
