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.

The formal legislative session ended this summer without enactment of a number of pieces of legislation that have been closely followed by the MMA and municipalities — particularly an economic development package, clean energy siting changes, the Municipal Empowerment Act, and a new program to help communities win federal grants. Included in these bills were issues such as changes to the civil service system, a reform of public health services known as SAPHE 2.0, and permanent authorization for remote and hybrid public meetings, among other topics. The end of the formal session changes the rules of operation at the State House, but the session does run through the end of the calendar year, and there may still be progress on...

Matt Lehrman When Matt Lehrman gives his Saturday keynote address at Connect 351 in January, he will likely ask municipal leaders two big questions: How do your residents feel when they emerge from civic engagement? And how do you actually want them to feel? Lehrman’s talk, “From Conflict to Conversation,” will probe how local leaders can build consensus around important decisions and foster inclusion through meaningful dialogue. A nationally recognized speaker, facilitator and podcast host, the Arizona-based Lehrman has extensive experience working with local governments across the country, and the MMA is the 25th state municipal league that has invited him to give a keynote address. He will address the MMA’s annual conference on Jan. 25. Lehrman works to make...

Suneel Gupta Author and entrepreneur Suneel Gupta, who has studied the successes and failures of leaders and shares lessons from his own winding career, will explore the link between well-being and performance as Connect 351’s opening keynote speaker on Jan. 24 in Boston. As the founding CEO of a mobile health company, a visiting scholar at Harvard Medical School, and a bestselling author, Gupta has identified more sustainable habits to address the “energy crisis” at work, which he says drains momentum and causes burnout. In this world of “hustle culture,” he says, people fixate on their race against the clock, and it’s hurting both their well-being and their performance. “We all feel strangled by time, but we don’t know how...
