When I was looking at different vendors, I considered what we were getting and what others were offering and for how much, and I decided to keep the City with Constellation.

Products

Products and solutions to meet your energy needs.

Understand your facility usage and utility bills.

Analytics platforms such as Utility Bill Management can help you manage carbon emissions data associated with your utilities, including energy, water, sewer, and diesel. Use it to generate valuable insights, such as baseline energy usage data and how energy efficiency upgrades and other options can reduce emissions.

Make energy efficiency upgrades

Energy efficiency upgrades, such as LED lighting and HVAC upgrades, can help reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. With Constellation’s Efficiency Made Easy® (EME) program, you can implement those infrastructure improvements with no upfront capital.

Purchase EFECS and RECS

Emission-Free Energy Certificates (EFECs) represent the emission-free attributes of generating sources that do not emit greenhouse gases, such as solar, wind, nuclear and hydropower. At today’s prices, these are the most cost-effective certificates available. Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) represent the emission-free attributes of one megawatt hour (MWh) of electricity generated only by renewable power plants, such as from wind or solar power.

Explore renewable natural gas

Directly reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from natural gas consumption by matching your gas purchases with environmental attributes of renewable natural gas (RNG), derived from sources including landfills, wastewater treatment plants and commercial & agricultural waste digesters.

Leverage carbon offsets

Indirectly reduce such emissions through the purchase of carbon offsets, which represent a verified reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gas emissions made elsewhere through forestry, energy efficiency, industrial process improvements and carbon capture & sequestration projects.

Procure offsite renewables

Through Constellation Offsite Renewables solutions, you have the ability to go beyond purchasing certificates and integrate energy from specific renewable energy projects in your region. Purchase renewable energy from existing (CORe) or new-build (CORe+) generation, including solar and wind facilities, into load-following energy supply.

Pursue Hourly Carbon-Free Energy Matching of clean electricity with your load

By matching your electricity use with a local emission-free energy source in real time, you can go beyond other net-zero programs to allow you to eliminate the carbon impact of your operations and fully achieve zero emissions goals.

Gov. Maura Healey today signed a bill to extend authorizations for local boards and committees to hold public meetings remotely or in a hybrid format through June of 2027. The law also extends the remote meeting option for representative town meetings and permits reduced quorums for open town meetings. The remote and hybrid authorizations under the state’s open meeting law were created as emergency accommodations during the COVID-19 pandemic and had been extended due to their success, but were due to expire on March 31. “The MMA and local leaders across the state greatly appreciate the House and Senate’s quick action — and the governor’s support — to enact and sign a bill continuing these essential and effective public meeting...

The first reports are due on June 30 under a new energy reporting requirement for buildings larger than 20,000 square feet. The Large Building Energy Reporting policy stems from a section of the 2022 climate and clean energy law that requires each electric, gas and steam distribution company to report on energy usage in large buildings. Separately, large building owners, including municipalities, will need to report any additional energy usage not required to be submitted by the utility, such as the use of fuel oil, propane, wood, or on-site solar and renewable energy. The law defines large buildings as those with at least 20,000 square feet of gross floor area. On March 30, the DOER is expected to post online...

The Massachusetts Hydrography Framework Committee is seeking municipal leaders to participate in its work to create “next generation hydrographic spatial data.” The committee is responsible for designing and implementing data governance standards, processes, best practices, and data-sharing agreements specific to hydrography geospatial data. The collaborative is looking to expand municipal representation, and is open to representation from state, regional and local governments, as well as federal agencies, private industry, academia and nonprofits. Last year, Massachusetts partnered with Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and Rhode Island on an application through the U.S. Geological Survey’s 3D National Hydrography Program to develop improved hydrography data. The states are looking to create three-dimensional, networked hydrography datasets for more than 30 watersheds. The project’s watersheds either partly...

State and local officials, along with the state’s congressional delegation, are raising concerns about the potential implications of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump yesterday that aims to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. While congressional approval would be needed to formally close a federal department, the executive order directs the secretary of education to “take all necessary steps to facilitate the closure” of her department “to the maximum extent appropriate and permitted by law.” The order calls for protecting the department’s “core necessities.” The executive order comes a week after Education Secretary Linda McMahon slashed the department’s workforce nearly in half, including deep cuts to its Office for Civil Rights and the Institute of Education Sciences, which...
