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.

Strategic Shifts in Rare Earth Diplomacy Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Strategic Shifts in Rare Earth Diplomacy Randy Wolken, President & CEO President Trump’s trip to Asia last month demonstrates the evolving geopolitics of rare earth elements and critical minerals. These materials, essential to everything from electric vehicles to smartphones to defense technologies, have become the new oil of the 21st century. In a world increasingly defined by competition over technology and resources, the current administration’s diplomatic efforts across Japan, South Korea, and China sought to reshape global supply chains, reduce dependence on Beijing, and reassert American influence in Asia’s mineral markets. The result was a combination of symbolic diplomacy and the potential implementation of practical frameworks that may reshape the strategic balance in critical minerals. At the heart of the...

Inspiration and Gratitude David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer This Friday, November 7th, marks my 10th annual Live2Lead event — a milestone that still amazes me. For the past decade, like-minded leaders have gathered at The Lodge in Skaneateles around this time of year to be inspired, encouraged, and challenged to grow. There’s something truly special about The Lodge. From the moment you arrive, it feels like stepping into a grand Adirondack retreat from another era — nestled beside a peaceful pond and centered around a roaring stone fireplace. It’s hard to explain how a place so serene can also be so energizing — but somehow, it is. We begin the morning with warm chocolate chip cookies and casual conversation, reconnecting...

The Rise of Advanced Manufacturing: Rebuilding the American Edge Randy Wolken,...

The Rise of Advanced Manufacturing: Rebuilding the American Edge Randy Wolken, President & CEO In a world defined by rapid technological change and global competition, the U.S. is rediscovering one of its most powerful engines of progress: advanced manufacturing. This new era of manufacturing will remain committed to   traditional facilities while also integrating more intelligent ones that utilize automation and digital processes. The resurgence of advanced manufacturing represents far more than economic growth — it’s a movement to strengthen national resilience, restore innovative leadership, and create a cleaner, more prosperous future for all Americans. At its core, advanced manufacturing combines automation, data analytics, and innovative materials to transform the design and assembly of products. By merging physical production with digital...

New Adventures Steve Maloney, Director of Training As some of you may know, I re-joined MACNY as Director of Training about four months ago after a 10-year period in Human Resources executive roles. I originally led the Training department at MACNY for eight years before leaving in 2015.  It all came full circle when I was going through a career transition last year.  Fortunately, my purpose and career goals aligned with MACNY’s direction at the perfect time, and I am back home! Between conducting training and coaching sessions throughout the summer and re-connecting with so many colleagues throughout the manufacturing community, it has been an adventure already. Here at MACNY, there is so much potential for growth and new opportunities...

U.S. Manufacturing Growth Slows but Remains Positive Randy Wolken, President &...

U.S. Manufacturing Growth Slows but Remains Positive Randy Wolken, President & CEO In September, the S&P Global U.S. Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI®) signaled continued growth in the manufacturing sector, though at a slower rate compared to previous months. The headline PMI registered 52.0, down from 53.0 in August, suggesting a weaker but still positive expansion rate. Any reading above 50 indicates growth, meaning the manufacturing industry continues to expand, though momentum is cooling. The survey showed nationally that while manufacturers continue to see gains in production and new orders, both areas grew at a reduced pace. Production growth slowed, reflecting softer demand conditions, while new order growth weakened due to persistent global trade challenges and the impact of tariffs....

Growth, Gratitude, and Shifts David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Back in October 2016, Randy Wolken, MACNY’s President & CEO, stopped me outside of my office and told me it was time to start writing a weekly blog post. I happened to be standing near Marisa Norcross’s desk, and she must have noticed the panic in my eyes. With a reassuring smile, she said, “It’ll be okay — I’ll help you.” After Randy walked away, Marisa added, “You write it, and I’ll make it look right.” For years, Marisa read everything I wrote, polishing my words before any of you had the chance to read them. During Marisa’s maternity leave, and again after her promotion to Chief Operating Officer, Marissa Beck...

A Call for Reliable and Affordable Energy Randy Wolken, President &...

A Call for Reliable and Affordable Energy Randy Wolken, President & CEO A statewide bipartisan consensus is emerging among New Yorkers: natural gas must remain an essential, reliable, and affordable part of the state’s energy future. As New York pursues ambitious manufacturing, housing, economic development, and infrastructure goals, it will strain its power systems unless action is taken.  Residents across party lines are voicing strong support for maintaining and investing in natural gas alongside renewable resources. According to a recent poll, 84% of New Yorkers see natural gas as reliable, while 76% consider it affordable. Even among Democrats—who typically prioritize renewable energy—81% say natural gas is reliable with 72% finding it affordable. Comparable majorities of Republicans and Independents share that...
