By Greentech Lead Team: Constellation Energy, a supplier of power, natural gas and
energy products and services for homes and businesses, announced that it has
been awarded three new General Services Administration (GSA) electricity supply
and renewable energy contracts in five states.
“Constellation Energy is proud to
provide our sustainable energy management and contracting expertise to a
growing number of federal agencies, allowing them to meet their procurement,
sustainability and security goals,” said
Louis Hutchinson, Constellation Energy’s senior vice president, Public Sector.
The new contracts expand
Constellation’s federal supply to 2.7 million megawatt hours of electricity per
year. The new contracts cover agencies in New York including the United Nations
building, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania.
With these new GSA contracts in the
New England region Constellation Energy
will serve the vast majority of the nation’s federal agencies in states with
competitive markets.
These new contracts support
President Obama’s executive order to reduce federal-wide greenhouse gas
emissions. The State Department and part of the White House campus expect to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with domestic electricity
consumption by approximately 30 percent to 35 percent by December 2012 and
during the term of the ESA.
Constellation announced last year
that it signed a three-year contract with the GSA to supply 1.72 million
megawatt hours of electricity per year to federal sites that include the U.S.
Capitol, Kennedy Center, Smithsonian Institution, GSA and the Federal Reserve,
as well as the Departments of Justice, Labor, Interior, Transportation and
Treasury.
Recently, Constellation Energy
announced it is offering
increased savings to approximately 1.5 million Illinois residents in both the
ComEd and Ameren service territories. More than 223,000 Illinois residents have
made the switch to a new electricity provider since the state’s residential
electric market opened up a year ago.
