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.

Leaders in the Age of AI Randy Wolken, President & CEO...

Leaders in the Age of AI Randy Wolken, President & CEO In the modern world of work, artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how organizations operate and how people do their jobs. But even as AI becomes more powerful, the need for strong human leadership has never been greater. In a recent article by McKinsey, titled “Building leaders in the age of AI,” the authors explain that while AI can take on many tasks, authentic leadership—the kind that inspires people, guides organizations through uncertainty, and fosters innovation—remains uniquely human. Leaders who succeed will be those who blend human strengths, such as empathy and judgment, with a deep understanding of AI, using technology as a partner rather than a replacement. AI systems...

Make 2026 Your Breakout Year David Freund Wouldn’t you like to...

Make 2026 Your Breakout Year David Freund Wouldn’t you like to make 2026 your breakout year? Imagine falling back in love with the job you already have — getting more done and still feeling energized at the end of the day. I know, it might sound like a cheesy cable-TV ad, but it’s possible. The key is learning a bit more about yourself and intentionally structuring your day around how you’re wired to work. In other words, you need to understand your Working Genius. During the COVID pandemic, Patrick Lencioni — author, business consultant, and founder of The Table Group — found himself struggling with a simple question: Why are there certain parts of my day that make me miserable?...

New York’s Moment to Compete: Why Staying Aligned with Federal Manufacturing...

New York’s Moment to Compete: Why Staying Aligned with Federal Manufacturing Tax Policy Matters Randy Wolken, President & CEO New York stands at a pivotal moment. Across the state, manufacturers are modernizing plants, investing in advanced equipment, and expanding research and development to compete in a rapidly changing global economy. Federal tax policy has recently taken the necessary steps to encourage precisely this kind of investment by allowing faster expensing of research and development (R&D) and greater incentives for building and upgrading production facilities. For New York to remain competitive, it’s critical that the state not decouple from these federal provisions. At its core, tax policy shapes behavior. When governments reward innovation, investment follows. When they delay or dilute those...

Momentum Steve Maloney Well, it’s late January — the time in the new year when many of us start to drift away from the resolutions we made on New Year’s Day. I know I’ve been there. We begin the year with good intentions for improvement and success in 2026, but over time, it’s easy to lose focus as new habits give way to old ones. My encouragement to you this week is straightforward: don’t give in — keep the momentum going. Recently, David Freund and Randy Wolken both shared that they spend intentional time during the holiday season reflecting on the past year and planning for the year ahead. I decided to follow suit with a similar activity over holiday...

A Most Difficult Shift: Part 2 David Freund Last week, I shared with you that I found myself in the middle of a shift I wasn’t prepared for. It was a difficult time that left me pondering my purpose. What makes this most ironic is that my word for 2025 was purpose. I felt that I had been pursuing my purpose all year, only to realize how completely confused I was. I was in the middle of making a significant leadership shift and didn’t even recognize it. You’ll recall that I described it as living the shift from soloist to conductor. That post went long, but I did promise I’d get back to you and share how I plan to...
