By BALTIMORE (June 25, 2013) - Constellation today announced that through its Efficiency Made Easy offering, Constellation customers have collectively reduced their carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 75,432 metric tons or 166,299,142 lbs over the past two years. Efficiency Made Easy enables Constellation commercial and industrial customers in competitive electricity markets to fund energy conservation measures, such as energy efficient lighting, as part of their electricity supply bill.
"Efficiency Made Easy allowed us to implement conservation measures that would have otherwise taken several years to complete from a cost perspective," said Jeff Brainard, area general manager, Embassy Suites, Washington, D.C. "The energy efficient lighting upgrades at our hotel have helped to save utility costs and achieve a 4-key rating for environmental performance from the Green Key Eco-Rating program."
Launched in early 2011 in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions, Constellation is expanding its Efficiency Made Easy offering this month to competitive electricity markets nationwide.
"Constellation's aim, in earning our customers' trust as their energy supplier of choice, is to work hand-in-hand to optimize both energy cost and overall energy use," said Gary Fromer, senior vice president, energy management programs, for Constellation. "Energy efficiency is an essential component of the most effective energy management strategies deployed by businesses. Our Efficiency Made Easy offering can make energy conservation projects financially feasible and help customers reduce costs and operate in a more environmentally responsible way."
According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency data, 75,432 metric tons of CO2 is equivalent to the annual greenhouse gas emissions of 15,715 passenger vehicles. Click here for additional info.
