By Greentech Lead Team: Constellation Energy, a
national competitive electricity supplier to business and public sector
customers, announced that thousands of Illinois residents have taken advantage
of Constellation’s offers to save on home electric rates, and in the process
helped Constellation surpass its goal of more than 1 million
residential customers nationwide.
Last year, Constellation Energy began
offering Illinois residents an easy way to get low energy rates and
embrace green energy by choosingConstellation as their home
electricity supplier.
“Constellation is thrilled that Illinois residential
consumers have responded to the low rates and
trusted Constellation brand already known to thousands of Illinois
business and government customers we have been serving for the past decade,”
said Bruce
Stewart, chief marketing officer for Constellation’s Retail business.
Constellation is currently offering to Illinois’
ComEd and Ameren residents home electric supply rate savings up to 22 percent
and 18 percent off of Ameren’s and ComEd’s current rates, respectively.
Constellation has also worked closely in the past
year with Chicago’s storied sports franchises including Chicago Bears, White
Sox and Chicago Cubs to enhance environmental stewardship.
These sports franchises embraced the opportunity to advance
clean energy this past year through Constellation’s sponsorship
of ‘green games’ that avoided tons of carbon dioxide emissions.
Constellation supports the sports teams’
sustainability goals through “green games” by purchasing
Green-e Energy Certified renewable energy certificates
(RECs) to match the electricity use on each game day. RECs represent the
environmental benefit of electricity generated by wind and therefore avoid
carbon dioxide emissions.
“We’re looking forward to continuing that tradition with
green games on April 1 and 2 for the Chicago Blackhawks and Chicago Bulls,”
Stewart added.
Recently, Constellation Energy and
the Buckeye Union High School District completed an aggregate 4.29-megawatt
(DC) solar generation project.
