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.

Turn Manufacturing Momentum into Sustained Investment Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Turn Manufacturing Momentum into Sustained Investment Randy Wolken, President & CEO Manufacturing is showing encouraging signs of renewed strength. After an extended period of uncertainty, new orders are increasing, shipments are accelerating, and employment continues to expand. In the latest New York Federal Reserve Empire State Manufacturing Survey, the general business conditions index rose, new orders increased, shipments climbed – their highest level in four years – and employment reached its strongest level since December 2022. But stronger demand is only part of the story. The central challenge is whether manufacturers will have enough confidence to make the long-term capital investments needed to sustain growth. Without that shift, today’s momentum could become tomorrow’s missed opportunity. That is why one finding...

A Thought to Share David Freund “Two percent of people think; three percent think they think; and ninety-five percent of people would rather die than think.” — George Bernard Shaw George Bernard Shaw made that observation more than seventy years ago. I often wonder what he would think if he were alive today. Have things improved, or have they become even worse? In a world where we’re spoon-fed other people’s opinions 24 hours a day, seven days a week, are fewer people thinking for themselves? Are we simply too busy to think? Or have we become so accustomed to consuming information that we’ve stopped wrestling with ideas on our own? Sadly, I believe the answer to all of those questions...

Reliability Before Retirement: Build the Energy Foundation for New York’s Manufacturing...

Reliability Before Retirement: Build the Energy Foundation for New York’s Manufacturing Future Randy Wolken, President & CEO New York stands at one of the most significant manufacturing moments in its modern history. Semiconductor fabrication, defense electronics, battery technologies, advanced materials, biologics, aerospace, and many other advanced manufacturing industries are creating unprecedented economic opportunity. Micron’s historic investment in Central New York symbolizes this new era, but it’s only one example. Across the state, manufacturers are expanding, modernizing, and positioning themselves for industries that will define the next generation of the American economy. Yet one question increasingly determines whether these investments will succeed: Will New York have the reliable energy infrastructure necessary to support them? Recent New York Independent System Operator (NYISO)...

Do I Have Value to Add? Steve Maloney In my last...

Do I Have Value to Add? Steve Maloney In my last blog post, I introduced John C. Maxwell’s five questions for Value-Added Leadership – questions that have had a profound impact on me. Over the next several posts, I’d like to take a deeper dive into each question. Let’s start with the first question: Do I have value to add? At first glance, the answer seems obvious. “Of course I do.” In fact, I shared in my last post that every one of us has value to add. Yet if we’re honest, many leaders don’t always believe that. Some hesitate because they compare themselves to someone with more experience, more credentials, or a bigger title. Others assume they need to...

AI and Work Randy Wolken, President & CEO The fear that...

AI and Work Randy Wolken, President & CEO The fear that artificial intelligence (AI) will eliminate work is understandable. Nearly every major technological transformation has generated similar concerns. Mechanization changed agriculture. Electricity transformed factories. Automobiles disrupted entire industries while creating new ones. Computers automated calculations and recordkeeping. The internet reshaped commerce, communication, and nearly every modern occupation. In each case, some jobs disappeared. More often, however, work changed and jobs increased. People learned new skills, assumed expanded responsibilities, created new products and services, and became more productive. Technology eliminated certain tasks while increasing the value of distinctly human capabilities. AI Is Many Things The phrase “artificial intelligence” can make AI sound like a single powerful machine competing against humanity. In...

Price and Potential David Freund  Have you ever stopped to ask...

Price and Potential David Freund  Have you ever stopped to ask yourself what is really standing between you and your potential? Most people immediately think about circumstances. They point to a lack of time, resources, education, opportunities, providence, or even luck. While those things can certainly create obstacles, they are rarely the greatest barrier. More often than not, the greatest price standing between us and our potential is the one we are unwilling to pay. Potential is one of the greatest gifts we’ve been given. It represents what could be rather than what currently is. The challenge is that potential is never realized accidentally. It requires intentional growth, consistent action, and the willingness to become uncomfortable. One of the greatest...

Micron’s Rapid Progress is a Call to Readiness Randy Wolken, President...

Micron’s Rapid Progress is a Call to Readiness Randy Wolken, President & CEO Last week, I attended a key Micron event: the ceremony celebrating its concrete pouring. Micron’s decision to begin pouring the first foundations for its semiconductor manufacturing facilities in Clay — less than six months after the January groundbreaking — is an important milestone for Central New York and advanced manufacturing across the state. The project is moving from site preparation to vertical construction. What has long been discussed through plans, projections, public investments, and future economic impact is now becoming physically visible. Concrete is being poured. Foundations are being built. The future is beginning to rise. Yet this milestone should prompt more than celebration. It should create...

Value Added Leadership Steve Maloney I’ve taught Lean Six Sigma for...

Value Added Leadership Steve Maloney I’ve taught Lean Six Sigma for more than 25 years, and one of the core concepts is the difference between value-added and non-value-added activities. In Lean, value-added work is anything that directly benefits the customer. It’s the work customers are willing to pay for because it improves the product, service, or experience. Everything else should be questioned, improved, simplified, or eliminated. Most organizations apply this thinking to their manufacturing processes, service delivery, and operations. What if we applied the same thinking to our leadership? What if every meeting, every conversation, every coaching session, and every decision were evaluated by one simple question: Did I add value? It’s a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about what...

CHPE’s Heat-Wave Test and What It Just Told Advanced Manufacturing Randy...

CHPE’s Heat-Wave Test and What It Just Told Advanced Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO When a transmission line supplying up to 20% of New York City’s electricity fails during peak demand, the economic risk is immediate, especially for manufacturers that depend on uninterrupted power. The Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE), designed to deliver 1,250 megawatts of hydropower, was meant to bolster supply, but its scale also highlights how much is at stake when a single asset falters. During its first major summer stress test, CHPE went down twice amid a severe July heat wave. The first outage followed a technical issue at the Hertel Converter station in Quebec, and a later outage was attributed by Hydro-Québec to “electrical anomalies,”...
