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.

Growing New York State Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO In...

Growing New York State Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO In both Washington, D.C. and Albany, we have a unique opportunity to invest in and grow manufacturing. MACNY remains committed to working with our elected officials to do this. U.S. Manufacturing matters greatly to the health and well-being of our nation. We learned the hard way that we need to make essential products here, so they’re readily available when we need them. It’s vital to our national defense and overall economic vitality, but we’ll need strong public policy to make that a reality. To start, we need better public policies that encourage domestic production. Robust growth policies will help us hire more people and enhance local manufacturing. This helps everyone. Manufacturing jobs...

Planning my Extraordinary Year David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer On Christmas,...

Planning my Extraordinary Year David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer On Christmas, I shared with you what I believe it takes to have an extraordinary year. Today, I want to share a bit more about my year-end reflections and how I make my plan for the new year. For over a decade, I’ve been very intentional about planning out my life rather than aimlessly going from day to day. As much as I’d like to be a person who journals, I’m not. It’s just not in me. However, I firmly believe reflection turns experience into insight. Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” So, since I’m not a journaling person, I created my own system with seven questions that...

New Year’s Resolutions Randy Wolken, President & CEO Every year, millions...

New Year’s Resolutions Randy Wolken, President & CEO Every year, millions of Americans make resolutions for the new year. Only 8 percent are kept. 80 percent of New Year’s resolutions are abandoned by February – just one month into the new year. Many people have stopped making such resolutions because of the dismal results they have personally achieved, making that mere 8 percent success rate even more remarkable. So, why do people even make such resolutions? People want to change their lives for the better. If change is the desired outcome, then we know what works. People who create habits instead of resolutions are successful at change. How do we know this? Neurobiologists, cognitive psychologists, and other researchers have studied our behavior and determined that up to 95...

The Future of Manufacturing in New York Randy Wolken, President & CEO I’m often asked to assess the future of manufacturing in the upstate region and New York State as a whole. For decades, I was compelled to give a nuanced answer because of the challenges and opportunities manufacturers face here. Now, I can say that manufacturing is poised for significant growth in New York State. Our expansion here will also contribute to meaningful growth in manufacturing for the entire country. What’s different now? The pandemic and the nation’s recovery has changed our view of the manufacturing world. Our country now knows we must make critical products here in the United States.
