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.

Regulatory Reform is Badly Needed Randy Wolken, President & CEO We...

Regulatory Reform is Badly Needed Randy Wolken, President & CEO We need a balanced, sensible, and pro-growth regulatory environment. President Trump’s Executive Order (EO) 14219, “Ensuring Lawful Governance and Implementing the President’s ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ Deregulatory Initiative,” issued on February 19, directs federal agencies to conduct a top-to-bottom review of existing regulations within their jurisdiction. Within 60 days, they must identify regulations that impose significant costs that aren’t outweighed by their benefits, exceed statutory authority, disproportionately hurt small businesses, or impede innovation, research & development, economic development, and more. The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) recently submitted recommendations to key federal agencies highlighting burdensome and outdated regulations that are driving up costs and undermining manufacturing competitiveness. NAM has identified at...

Manufacturers Need a Competitive Tax System Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Manufacturers Need a Competitive Tax System Randy Wolken, President & CEO A strong and competitive manufacturing sector requires a tax system that enhances growth. In the short term, it’s critical that Congress make the pro-growth tax provisions from President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) permanent. On April 10, Congress passed a budget resolution that allowed it to move forward with a tax and budget bill. We could begin seeing details of this tax legislation as early as May if Congress sticks to an aggressive timeline when they return from recess on April 28. The legislation is likely to include extensions of the TCJA of 2017, adjustments to the tax treatment of research & development (R&D) expenses, capital...

Only Half of the Job David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Earlier...

Only Half of the Job David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Earlier this week, I had the privilege of learning more about MACNY’s Career and Talent Platform. It’s a great tool that aids organizations in finding the employees they need. However, it struck me as I was listening that hiring is only half of the equation. We spend countless hours and thousands of dollars working to find the best people we can and then think our job is finished once we’ve hired them, when the real work has only just begun. It’s our job as leaders to keep our employees satisfied because the reality is; people don’t leave companies, they leave bosses. So why do they leave? The answer is very...

How Are Businesses Going to Navigate Rising Uncertainty? Randy Wolken, President & CEO As volatility and uncertainty rise, leaders are learning that the ability to navigate and adapt continuously to complex business areas, including macroeconomic and geopolitical dynamics, is crucial for shaping successful resilience strategies. More organizations must invest in proactive future preparedness to build long-lasting strategies. A recent report by the World Economic Forum examines how companies are navigating today’s resilience challenges based on insights from a global survey of over 250 private sector leaders across industries and regions. It reveals the state of resilience in the private sector, uncovers key gaps in readiness, and offers actionable recommendations for promoting collaboration in resilience-building efforts. Organizations face an unprecedented risk...

Build a Talent Investment Growth Approach Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Build a Talent Investment Growth Approach Randy Wolken, President & CEO Finding workers with the right skills has become a global challenge. Changing demographics, widening skill gaps, burned-out middle managers, the desire for flexibility, generational disconnects, and eroding real wages are all obstacles to a company’s success. As a result, fewer businesses are reporting success in increasing productivity after a decades-long slowdown. Business leaders have responded to these challenges by growing investments in technologies ranging from automation and robotics to digital processes and Artificial Intelligence (AI). They understand that capital and talent must work together to increase productivity. However, this insight hasn’t kept companies from treating talent—especially their frontline workforce—as an operating cost. Data from a recent McKinsey study reveals just how shortsighted...

Perspective David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer We live in such a turbulent time, and yet, if we compare our present to the past, it isn’t more turbulent than before; we just think it is. We talk about unrest throughout the world as though there’s never been so much conflict and strife, and yet, compared against the history of the world, this is a relatively peaceful time. I was born during the Cuban Missile Crisis, and I remember hearing my grandmother talk about it when I asked why she had cans of water in her basement. I used to wonder why she still kept those cans of water in her basement for over a decade after the crisis had resolved. I...

Tariffs and Trade Update Randy Wolken, President & CEO On his first day in office, President Trump outlined the contours of his “America First Trade Policy” in an Executive Order (EO). His proclaimed primary objectives are to reduce dependence on foreign nations for critical supply chains, promote investment and productivity, and enhance our nation’s industrial and technological advantages. While this EO didn’t announce the implementation of tariffs, it did instruct key agencies to begin efforts to identify underlying concerns of unfair or unbalanced trade, specifically regarding trade with China, and matters related to economic security. President Trump has stated that he hopes to build on his past success. He’s cited the China “Phase One” deal, the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement (USMCA), and Section 232...

Holistic Health Focus at Work Randy Wolken, President & CEO As adults, we spend most of our lives at work. This means that employers have a unique opportunity to enhance their employee’s holistic health. Holistic health is an approach to wellness that integrates all aspects of individuals by considering the connection between physical, mental, social, and spiritual health. However, to enhance holistic health, we need to assess how to embrace the concept at our places of work. Recently, McKinsey & Company completed a survey of 30,000 employees worldwide. In it they explored how these employees perceived their health as well as how workplace factors could impact mental, physical, social, and spiritual health. Work can and should enhance health, however, for...
