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.

Outlook Survey Indicates Manufacturers’ Concerns Randy Wolken, President & CEO According...

Outlook Survey Indicates Manufacturers’ Concerns Randy Wolken, President & CEO According to the Q1 2025 National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) Manufacturers’ Outlook Survey uncertainties surrounding trade moved to the top of manufacturers’ concerns—with 76.2% of respondents citing it as their primary worry. Increased raw material costs came in second, cited by 62.3% of those surveyed. Manufacturers are also calling for the tax reform needed to grow their businesses. Manufacturers expect prices on their product lines to be the highest since Q3 2022, when inflation was up more than 8%. Prices are expected to increase by 3.6% next year, up from 2.3% in Q4 2024. Manufacturers also anticipate the cost of raw materials and other inputs to rise 5.5% in the...

21st Century Leadership Randy Wolken, President & CEO Has leadership changed...

21st Century Leadership Randy Wolken, President & CEO Has leadership changed in the 21st century? Do we need to lead differently than before? From my point of view – yes. The key components of successful leadership have evolved and will continue to change. I began my formal leadership training, in the summer of 1982, at the U.S. Military Academy in West Point. At West Point, they had a defined approach to preparing future Army leaders. It involved “breaking you down” to “rebuild” you into a disciplined, tough, principled, and loyal leader committed to accomplishing the mission. The training was challenging to say the least, but I’d also say I received the education of a lifetime. However, if I were to attend West Point today, my experience would...

Why Is It So Hard? – Part 2 David Freund, Chief...

Why Is It So Hard? – Part 2 David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer In my last post, “Why Is It So Hard?” I posed the question, “what if hard was good?” I then began sharing Darren Hardy’s three tips for handling hard better, the first of which was “Win What’s Next”. I’d like to take a quick moment to explain how I was able to “Win What’s Next.” Last time, as you’ll recall, I talked about my broken shoulder, which resulted in shoulder replacement surgery, which resulted in my inability to use my right arm. It was almost impossible to raise my right hand onto my desk and type on my laptop. One of my regular activities is to conduct...

Manufacturing Advocacy Day 2025 Randy Wolken, President & CEO On Wednesday,...

Manufacturing Advocacy Day 2025 Randy Wolken, President & CEO On Wednesday, MACNY, our members, and our Manufacturers Alliance partners from throughout New York State advocated in Albany for critical policies to grow manufacturing in our state. So many opportunities for manufacturing exist, however, what happens in Albany significantly impacts the daily opportunities and challenges manufacturers and businesses face. Over the last few years, supply chains have been turned upside down, the availability of skilled workers decreased while the need has grown, our political dialogue has become frequently confrontational, and heightened costs have severely challenged manufacturers. We need supportive policies and wise state investments to expand manufacturing. While in Albany, we conducted over 30 conversations and meetings with key legislators and...

King, Jr. A highlight of this year’s event was the participation of Registered Apprentices and graduates from the Real Life...

Caution Needed in Regulating AI Use in Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President...

Caution Needed in Regulating AI Use in Manufacturing Randy Wolken, President & CEO Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to have a positive impact on manufacturers as the technology works to enhance the industry. Manufacturers are using AI on the shop floor and throughout  their operations. On February 12th, The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) reported on the effect of AI at a hearing of the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade. In their report they cited the essential data that they observed. The diverse use cases of AI in manufacturing suggest the need for a cautious regulatory approach. It must support innovation and U.S. leadership in AI while providing context-specific, risk-based, right-sized rules for manufacturers. It’s vital to distinguish between industrial and...

Why Is It so Hard? David Freund, Chief Leadership Officer Have you ever asked yourself, “why must this be so hard?” or commented, “why can’t this be easier?” I’d like to pose the question, “what if hard is good?” What if there’s a reason that it needs to be hard? What if hard gives us the greatest likelihood of success? Over the next few weeks, I’d like you to take a journey with me; a journey that hopefully will have all of us truly appreciating the hard. You may have wondered where I’ve been. It’s been over a month since my last post and the reason for my absence is I’ve had to deal with some hard stuff. It all...

U.S. Needs Competitive Tax System Randy Wolken, President & CEO A...

U.S. Needs Competitive Tax System Randy Wolken, President & CEO A strong and competitive America requires a tax system that enhances manufacturing growth. It’s critical that Congress make the pro-growth tax provisions from President Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, permanent. The reforms would allow manufacturers to increase hiring, expand operations, and invest in their communities. This would have a very positive effect on small and medium-sized businesses, in particular. Key provisions of the 2017 Trump tax reforms have already expired, and many more are set to lapse later this year. Without action, manufacturers will miss out on tax incentives for research and development (R&D) and equipment purchases. Also, small businesses and family-owned manufacturers will see their tax rate...
