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.

Focus On Growing Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO Elections offer an opportunity for manufacturers and their supporters to be heard. Specifically, federal and state elections provide a unique opportunity to communicate the need to grow manufacturing and those businesses that support them.

It is vitally important for our members to engage in the electoral process and share their voice on important issues. Manufacturing has long been the backbone of the New York State economy.

Why Is It So Important? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Whenever...

Why Is It So Important? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Whenever I have a class, I ask questions like, “What is your company’s vision?” or, “What’s your mission?” Frequently, people just look at each other with blank stares or look at their notes and hope that I don’t call on them. In a podcast about 8 years ago, I heard Simon Sinek share “The School Bus Test.” If you got hit by a school bus and your team showed up for work with the same level of excitement and energy as if you were there, your team has bought into your vision. This past week, I started going through the new training curriculum for coaches in the Maxwell Leadership program....

New Strategies – To Include Registered Apprenticeships – Are Needed To Fill Skills Gaps Randy Wolken, President & CEO MACNY members continue to tell me how increasingly difficult it is to hire the talent they need, with a particular worry about the ability to find skilled workers. MACNY is committed to helping members through this by providing innovative solutions to this challenge. Simultaneously, we’re seeing companies responding to their hiring challenges by rethinking the experience and skills requirements in place, and instead focusing on on-the-job training and upskilling opportunities that give team members the skills they need to excel. I’ve observed a trend in which leaders have refocused what their looking for when hiring; they want employees who can work...

Federal Tax Policy Is Crucial For Manufacturers’ Growth Randy Wolken, President...

Federal Tax Policy Is Crucial For Manufacturers’ Growth Randy Wolken, President & CEO A pro-manufacturing tax policy is vital to keeping U.S. manufacturers competitive. We need all candidates to commit to meaningful action during this federal election cycle. For instance, failure to act before the end of next year, when key provisions from the 2017 tax reform are set to expire, would result in significantly higher taxes on nearly all manufacturers. This will undoubtedly cost millions of jobs and put the American manufacturing sector at a severe disadvantage globally. MACNY supports the dedicated and detailed efforts of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) to champion key tax provisions that will expire and other key provisions that have already expired, making...

Reflections From My Pause David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer A couple weeks ago, I shared my thoughts on the power of a pause. In music, a pause draws attention to what preceded the pause. It causes the listener to become more alert and draws them immediately into the moment. Your heightened awareness prepares you to fully take in the melodies and harmonies to follow. With public speaking, the power of the pause is just as profound. It allows the listener to process and think about what was just said. Often, the best speakers will build tension with stories and then break the tension with a bit of humor, followed by a pause, allowing the listener to relax and take in...

Freedom Randy Wolken, President & CEO We have so much to be grateful for during this Independence Day week. At the same time, we also have much to continue working on. Reflecting on July 4th, I am reminded how much we value our freedoms. And of our need to continue to extend these freedoms to so many more. America can and needs to be a beacon of hope. As the war in Ukraine continues and tensions in Asia increase, we need to be people of hope. Manufacturers have been a large part of our progress as a nation. I am more convinced than ever that manufacturers will be a vital part of our growth and prosperity in the future. Early...

Manufacturing Remains The Number One Target Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Manufacturing Remains The Number One Target Randy Wolken, President & CEO   For the third year in a row, the IBM  X-Force Threat Intelligence Report ranked manufacturing as the most-attacked industry by cybercriminals. The very low tolerance for downtime makes them so attractive to cyber attacks. This allows cybercriminals the ability to seek maximum financial gains.   Last year, manufacturers comprised more than 25% of security incidents. Malware attacks focused on ransomware made up the majority of incidents. Security fundamentals remain the essential component of any manufacturer’s strategy.   The X-Force report indicates attacks on critical infrastructure within organizations where a full 85% of incidents could have been mitigated with patching, multi-factor authentication, or privilege principles.   Cyber attackers seek the most...
