Constellation Energy Projects & Services to Partner on Energy Efficiency
Program
BALTIMORE, Feb. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Constellation Energy (NYSE:
CEG) today announced it has signed an agreement with the Clinton Climate
Initiative (CCI) to jointly pursue opportunities to lower harmful emissions
and improve energy efficiency.
"This partnership with CCI illustrates Constellation Energy's
commitment to becoming one of the leading providers of energy efficient
products and services," said Paul J. Allen, chief environmental officer and
senior vice president, Constellation Energy. "These programs significantly
improve energy efficiency, lower emissions and save money. We look forward
to pursuing qualified projects with CCI and demonstrating how the latest
innovation in energy products and services can drive measurable and
meaningful environmental and economic results."
Under one element of the CCI initiative, the C40 Large Building
Retrofit Program, participating cities pre-qualify a pool of energy service
companies that can respond to request for proposals (RFP) for energy
efficiency projects at large municipal buildings. Companies selected for
projects will conduct energy audits, design and implement an energy
retrofit plan, oversee site work and provide performance guarantees on
energy usage and savings.
In addition to the C40 Large Building Retrofit Program, Constellation
Energy supports the American College and University Presidents Climate
Commitment, or ACUPCC, which has partnered with the Clinton Climate
Initiative on a comprehensive program to introduce more green energy
solutions to college campuses. The ACUPCC has received commitments from 400
colleges and universities to develop a comprehensive plan to reduce
emissions that cause global warming.
President Bill Clinton's foundation launched CCI in August 2006, with
the mission of applying the Clinton Foundation's business-oriented approach
to the fight against climate change in practical, measurable and
significant ways.
Constellation Energy Projects & Services Group, a subsidiary of
Constellation Energy specializing in energy services and renewable power
projects, will oversee the company's participation in the CCI program.
