Products

Products and solutions to meet your energy needs.

Understand your facility usage and utility bills.

Analytics platforms such as Pear.ai 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.

Celebrate Success Randy Wolken, President & CEO Our lives can become grinding. Day after day of hard work and effort can take its toll. One antidote to fatigue and decreased motivation is celebrating success. When we achieve meaningful outcomes and milestones, stopping to celebrate is crucial. Doing so can rejuvenate you and your teams. Why is celebrating so vital to long-term and sustainable success? As humans, we crave appreciation. Celebrating our successes nourishes our bodies and our souls. It is as important as sleep and rest are to our health and vitality. When we celebrate, especially with others, we note how we and others can achieve complex and critical goals. It lifts our spirits and prepares us for what is...

I’ve Changed My Values David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer     This is the time of year that I start adjusting my growth plan for the upcoming year. As I enter 2024, I have made a shift in my values. Now, I’m sure that statement has some of you scratching your heads, and some might even be concerned, so let me explain. My growth plan is built around six values that I hold dear in my life. Once I determine the values, I rank them in priority and then build activities or actions that I can take daily, weekly, monthly, and annually to grow in each of those areas. The activities are things like listening to podcasts, reading books, and attending training....

Increasingly Divided Global Economy Randy Wolken, President & CEO Over the...

Increasingly Divided Global Economy Randy Wolken, President & CEO Over the past five years, much has changed. For decades, the U.S. and Western economies attempted to make China a partner and customer in an ever-expanding global economy. The world is increasingly centered around two competing power centers, with trade and investment flows demonstrating this trend. Last fall, China, for the first time, traded more with developing countries than the U.S., Europe, and Japan combined. Our country has increased its focus on creating investment curbs and export bans on China’s efforts to dominate global markets. China has responded by reorienting an increasing part of its economy away from the West towards the developing world. For instance, China now trades more with Russia than...

Culture Shock and Workforce Development Colleen Blagg, Manager of Workforce Development and Apprenticeship “By show of hands, how many of you are willing to quit your job today to start a job training program for a potentially better job in the future?” – Tim Thomas, Chief Strategy Officer and Assistant Vice President for Learning and Academic Affairs, Mohawk Valley Community College Pondering this question were the attendees of MACNY’s recent Annual Legislative Breakfast, at which MACNY facilitated the Workforce Development panel. No one raised a hand. It begged several questions: What does it take to entice someone, especially this demographic, to attempt a new career pathway in advanced manufacturing? Should we assume that the unimpressed Gen Z, or the chronically...

What’s Your Diet Like? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer I am sure you have heard the expression, “You are what you eat.” Lately, I have been starting to pay much closer attention to what I am eating and trying to make better choices. Have you ever thought about your mental diet? Similar to our nutritional diet, our thought life is controlled by our mental diet. We are also the sum of the five people we associate with the most. We are what we are taking in mentally. This past week I came across this quote “Be happy, not because everything is good, but because you see the good in everything.” Many of you know that I have been struggling with...

How Will AI Change Work? Randy Wolken, President & CEO Artificial Intelligence (AI) is incrementally changing our lives. Daily, our tech is transitioning to AI applications on our smartphones, in our cars, and within our factories. This makes the speed of this process much less noticeable. All of us are on this journey. We will need to understand how it changes our work and our lives. McKinsey can help us begin to grasp how the newest impacts of generative AI will affect our lives. Its power, reach, and potential are transformational. Over the next decade, it can dramatically boost critical functions such as sales and marketing, customer service, and software development and usage. These changes, and others, can unlock trillions...

How Grateful Are You? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer We’re inching...

How Grateful Are You? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer We’re inching closer and closer to Thanksgiving, which is one of my favorite holidays. I love that as a nation, we stop for a day and focus on being thankful for the many blessings we have. At our staff meeting last week, United Way of CNY made a presentation to kick off MACNY’s annual campaign. The speaker gave us a brief history behind the United Way and shared that 102 years ago the mayor of Syracuse brought out a chest and asked people to contribute. His goal was $300,000 over three weeks. He ended up collecting $1,000,000. This year’s United Way goal is $5,400,000. Using the amazing world of Google, I...

Impact of Federal Regulations Grows Even Larger Randy Wolken, President &...

Impact of Federal Regulations Grows Even Larger Randy Wolken, President & CEO The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has recently released an impact study on the multitude of federal regulations U.S. businesses, including manufacturers, must comply with. The costs identified are stunning. It is estimated that in 2022, federal regulations costed our economy over $3 trillion (in 2023 dollars). This is equal to 12% of the U.S. GDP and considerably larger than the entire value of the manufacturing sector’s output. What is even worse, manufacturers bear a much higher share of the burden. Not surprisingly, small manufacturers have the heaviest burden of all. An average company in our country pays just below $13,000 per employee to comply with federal regulations,...
