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.

Women In Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO Female employment in...

Women In Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO Female employment in manufacturing reached its height this year, with a total of 3.77 million workers, according to the National Association of Manufacturers’ (NAM) calculations based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) numbers. Using this estimate, women account for 29% of the manufacturing workforce. Although this is an improvement, it is still not enough. We have much work to do. This is why MACNY launched its Diversifying Advanced Manufacturing: Women in the Workforce program this week. This pilot program aims to fill the substantial unmet need for a new advanced manufacturing workforce in the Mohawk Valley. It will target women – a largely untapped population. The program offers critical elements to enhance...

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT 2023-24 State Budget – Department of Labor – $1.75 Million Manufacturers Intermediary Apprenticeship Program (MIAP)  MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, and The Manufacturers Alliance of New York State (Alliance) support continued state funding of the Manufacturers Intermediary Apprenticeship Program (MIAP) in the amount of $1.75 Million in the 2023-24 State Budget. New York State has been funding MIAP, a successful program that targets the upskilling of incumbent and entry-level manufacturing workers, since the program’s launch in 2016. The effective pilot of the apprenticeship program in Central New York created a statewide need to expand and support registered apprenticeships in high-demand sectors. The MIAP program has served more than 700 apprentices at nearly 200 manufacturers.  These registered apprenticeships raise...

We are very excited to bring you the 11th edition of Central Upstate Mfg. magazine! The future of manufacturing is bright here in Central and Upstate New York. We’re thrilled to see and hear from member companies who are growing, whether it’s through expansion to a larger facility, entrance into a new sector, or strategic partnerships. The announcement of Micron Technology’s massive commitment to Central New York and the signing of the Green CHIPS bill by New York Governor Kathy Hochul last August has certainly positioned our region to be the epicenter of manufacturing and high-tech growth for decades to come. As manufacturers in Central and Upstate New York face opportunities and challenges, MACNY continues to invest in the best...

Everyone is Looking for This David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer There...

Everyone is Looking for This David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer There has been a common theme surfacing in most of my coaching and training sessions. I am having many conversations around employee engagement and retaining key talent. Leaders are wondering how to keep people motivated, and my answer is always the same: connection. Connection is the key to all these questions and is something we all need. Sadly, we often try to get our connection fix via social media, which leaves us frustrated as mostly meaningless interactions bombard us. Great leaders know that connecting with people dramatically improves their influence. When connection occurs, the team buys into their leader, becomes fully engaged, and are propelled toward excellence as the team...

MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT S.4064 (Mannion)/A.4168 (Stirpe) An act to amend the tax law, in relation to pass-through manufacturers zero percent tax rate MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, and The Manufacturers Alliance of New York State support S.4064 (Mannion)/A.4168 (Stirpe) which would extend the zero percent tax rate and provide tax parity for all manufacturers. In 2014, a zero percent corporate franchise tax rate was enacted for manufacturers organized as C-corps. This change in the tax law accounted for only 25 percent of State’s manufacturing companies. While this provided significant help to those manufacturers, 75 percent of manufactures continued to be taxed at the higher rate and at a competitive disadvantage with manufacturers in other states with no similar tax. Most manufacturers...

MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION An act to amend the public health law and the state finance law, in relation to establishing the New York Health Act. MACNY, The Manufacturers Association, and The Manufacturers Alliance of New York, oppose any legislation that which would create a government run, single-payer health care system in replace of New York’s current system of health coverage. A single-payer system would be financed by a mandatory new payroll tax on both employers and employees, as well as new taxes on other income such as interest and capital gains. Such tax increases would be significant. An independent study conducted by the RAND Corporation found that this type of legislation would require at least $210 billion in new taxes...

Manufacturers Need Permitting Reform Randy Wolken, President & CEO New York’s...

Manufacturers Need Permitting Reform Randy Wolken, President & CEO New York’s success depends on a robust and competitive manufacturing industry. Some of the biggest obstacles preventing manufacturers from reaching their full potential are permitting delays, red tape, and complicated bureaucracy. As a nation and state, we must modernize our infrastructure and shore up our supply chains. The need for reform is more urgent than ever. Manufacturers in the United States employ 13 million people, adding more than $2.8 trillion to the U.S. economy. In New York, nearly 450,000 are directly employed, and millions of individuals benefit from a strong manufacturing economy. However, industry can do even more if the permitting process is run efficiently. We need to prioritize and modernize...

Did You Lose Something? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer I recently...

Did You Lose Something? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer I recently listened to the Maxwell Leadership podcast and heard Mark Cole talk about discouragement. He mentioned that the word discourage has French roots and means to be deprived of courage. When we are discouraged, it’s not that something new has come into our lives but rather that we have lost something: our courage. You don’t find discouragement; you don’t enter into a discouraging situation; you lose your courage. The more I pondered this thought, the more convinced I was of its validity. Courage is that special something that helps us view challenges as opportunities. Courage shines the light of possibility on obstacles. Courage moves us from I can’t, toward how...

Manufacturing Advocacy Day In Albany Randy Wolken, President & CEO On...

Manufacturing Advocacy Day In Albany Randy Wolken, President & CEO On Wednesday, MACNY and our Manufacturers Alliance partners traveled to Albany to advocate for critical policies to grow manufacturing in New York State. So much has changed in our state and nation. COVID-19 and its impacts have severely challenged manufacturers and businesses. Supply chains have been turned upside down, available skilled workers have decreased as the need has grown, our political dialogue has often become confrontational, and rapid inflation has severely challenged manufacturers. We need supportive policies and investments to grow manufacturers. While in Albany, we conducted 25 meetings with key legislators on the issues of tax policy, labor and HR issues, continued investment in workforce development efforts like MACNY’s...
