CON EDISON SOLUTIONS WINS APPROVAL TO DELIVER ENERGY SERVICES IN NORTH CAROLINA
White Plains, NY - April 17, 2008 - ConEdison Solutions, one of America’s leading energy service providers, has received formal accreditation as an energy services company (ESCO) from the State of North Carolina.
As a State-accredited ESCO, the company is entitled to offer a range of energy efficiency services to State-owned agencies and universities.
Last year, the North Carolina State Senate allocated $200 million for use by State-owned agencies and universities to implement energy-saving upgrades in 2008 by tapping the services of approved providers.
“Energy efficiency saves taxpayer dollars, preserves the environment and reduces America's dependence on overseas fuel supplies," said Jorge J. Lopez, President and CEO of ConEdison Solutions. “By making a substantial commitment to energy-efficient public buildings, the State of North Carolina is setting an excellent example for state governments nationwide."
"ConEdison Solutions is proud that we have been formally accredited as an energy services provider by the State of North Carolina," said Mr. Lopez. "We intend to work in partnership with public institutions to help build a cleaner and greener future for North Carolina.”
ConEdison Solutions is looking forward to building upon the positive commitment for immediate and substantial improvements in energy efficiency voiced at the North Carolina Institute for Emerging Ideas Focus on Energy. ConEdison Solutions will work to coordinate its efforts with the state's two major utilities, Duke Power and Progress Energy. In addition to lowering energy costs for taxpayers and consumers, the North Carolina energy initiative will also reduce the need to build or expand power generation facilities.
Based in White Plains, NY, ConEdison Solutions has an office in Durham, North Carolina. Interested North Carolina power users can call Aaron Rittenhouse at 703-399-1961.
