When I was looking at different vendors, I considered what we were getting and what others were offering and for how much, and I decided to keep the City with Constellation.

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.

A new Massachusetts Healthy Aging Data Report presents a detailed picture of aging in Massachusetts, with a community- and neighborhood-level examination of the challenges faced by older adults. The report, released on May 1, includes 386 community profiles — for 351 cities and towns, plus the various neighborhoods in Boston, Worcester and Springfield. Researchers engaged key stakeholders in the state to contextualize the findings. “Massachusetts and its communities are rewriting the story of aging, and having local data helps complete the picture of our successes and opportunities,” said James Fuccione, executive director of the Massachusetts Healthy Aging Collaborative. “In our work to promote and support inclusive age- and dementia-friendly communities, the data — just like the previous report in 2019...

The MMA hosted a webinar titled “Demystifying DEI” on May 6. MMA Chief Equity Officer Jill Harvey led a conversation discussing the concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion, the history of DEI, and what municipal leaders can do to support DEI efforts. Angela Clark, chief of organizational diversity, equity and inclusion at the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, began the discussion by explaining what a presidential executive order is and how it impacts local government. She emphasized that executive orders “do not override laws passed by Congress or state legislatures,” though “they can, and oftentimes do, influence local action.” “Diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility are not illegal,” Clark said.

The Senate yesterday approved a $1.3 billion supplemental budget bill that would primarily allocate surplus surtax funds from fiscal 2024, designating $617 million for education investments and $670 million for transportation. Collections from the state surtax on annual incomes over $1 million exceeded the conservative estimate used in the fiscal 2024 state budget, and by statute these funds can be used only for education and transportation programs. The Senate’s bill (S. 2512) includes important transportation and education investments under a theme of “regional equity.” For cities and towns, the bill includes supplemental funding for the Chapter 90 local road and bridge maintenance program, the Special Education Circuit Breaker, and school construction cost relief. The following are highlights: Municipal infrastructure •...

Mass Innovations, From The Beacon, May 2025 A new kiosk installed in a Somerville park allows people to deposit containers of needles as well as sharps and individual items. In one of its most central parks, the city of Somerville has installed an outdoor dual-sharps kiosk that accepts individual needles and other “sharps,” as well as containers of them — a resource believed to be the first of its kind in the country. In late March, the city placed the kiosk — with a cheerful, floral design — in an accessible outdoor setting in Seven Hills Park, near the Davis station on the MBTA’s Red Line. City officials hope the collection kiosk will reduce improperly discarded medical items in public...

British “Regulars” march during a reenactment of the Battle of Lexington Green on April 19 as part of the town’s annual Patriots’ Day celebration. When reenactors fired their muskets on Patriots’ Day weekend to mark the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War, they were participating in public events that were years in the making.
