Corporate Advocacy

Con Edison Making the Apple Green Q. Why is Con Edison encouraging customers to conserve and use energy efficiently? A. I think it’s safe to say there aren’t many companies that encourage customers to use less of their goods and services. But we do. We provide lowcost energy-efficiency surveys. We will help customers pay for improvements to their heating and cooling equipment or duct and air sealing. If you have a second working refrigerator, we will pay you $30 to remove and recycle it. When we pick up the second refrigerator, we’ll also take old wall or window air-conditioning units and pay you for those too. These are just some of the programs we offer for residential and business customers. Getting people to use less energy also allows us to postpone expensive infrastructure projects or system expansion, which saves money for our customers too. It all fits with our company’s commitment to contribute in any way we can to conserving energy and preserving the environment. Q. How do you measure progress when it comes to your environmental initiatives? A. There are a lot of metrics that show our progress. Our greenhouse gas emissions dropped 36 percent, or by about 2.4 million tons, between 2005 and 2009. Most of this was due to the use of cleaner-burning fuels and improvements at our steam plants and substations. We’ve also invested in a greener fleet of vehicles. More than 40 percent of our vehicles use alternative-energy technology. Q. Con Edison has spoken very proudly of its smart grid program. Is there an environmental benefit to that? A. Yes, with our smart grid pilot project in northwest Queens, customers can monitor and potentially improve their control of energy use. A smart grid will allow for the integration of greener sources of energy, such as wind power and solar power, as well as accommodating electric vehicles. At the same time, the new technology and infrastructure upgrades that come with the smart grid will help our reliability.

The Most Advanced Communications Networks Ever ‌

Craig Ivey, President of Con Edison Q. What else is Con Edison doing to encourage and explore greater use of renewable sources of energy such as solar and wind? A. One of Con Edison Inc.’s subsidiaries, Con Edison Development, and a company called Panda Power Funds just broke ground on a 20-megawatt solar electric generating station in Pilesgrove, NJ. It will be one of the largest solar farms in the United States and have the capacity to power more than 5,100 homes with clean, renewable energy. We’re working with the city of New York to reduce the amount of time it takes applicants to get approval to install solar panels. And, along with the Long Island Power Authority, we’re part of a public-private partnership studying the potential for a major wind farm off the Rockaway Peninsula in the Atlantic Ocean. Q. What do you think has led to your company’s success in the Green area? A. It starts with our commitment. We believe we have an obligation to be a responsible environmental steward, a genuine leader in the utility industry and the larger corporate community. We’re concerned about global warming and dedicated to making New York, a comfortable, pleasant place to live and work. We also realize that because we power New York City, others notice what we do.
