First Issue!   Meet the Green Power Program Team

ConEdison Solutions, based in White Plains, NY, has been bringing renewable energy to customers for many years. Peter Blom, Manager of Renewable Services at ConEdison Solutions, helped to develop the program in 2002 and continues to oversee its growth. Pete Muzsi, Marketing Manager, manages ConEdison Solutions residential programs and has been instrumental in the behind the scenes work necessary to develop green power products. ConEdison Solutions partners with Community Energy, a green power marketer and supplier, to execute this program here in NYC and Westchester County. Tess Barton, Program Manager with Community Energy, works from the company's NYC Office, managing both the wind energy supply and community outreach efforts. Tess has been with Community Energy, based in Radnor, PA, since 2006. Ann Smith-Law, the most recent addition to the team, joined Community Energy in November 2008 as the Program Administrator. You'll see representatives from our team at green markets and other green events, so please stop by and say hello.

Wind Development in New York

New York's wind energy development has grown exponentially in the last decade. In 1999, New York had no wind energy generation. By December 2008, however, 831 megawatts (MW) had been constructed. Each MW is enough generation to power approximately 500 NYC apartments.* That means that in 2008 enough wind generated electricity was produced in New York State to power over 300,000 NYC apartments!

New York has 15 wind farms that generate electricity, including the Fenner Wind Farm in Madison County and the Maple Ridge Wind Farm in Lewis County. Nearly 463 MW are currently under construction. New York ranks 15th on the list of states with the greatest wind energy potential and 9th on the list of states for wind-powered electricity generation. Green power programs (like ConEdison Solutions' Green Power Program) increase the demand for new wind energy resources, driving new wind farm development. Likewise, the introduction of the New York State renewable portfolio standard helps increase demand for new projects by requiring that 25% of the electricity generated within the state come from renewable sources by the year 2013. Together, green power programs and the renewable portfolio standard will continue to encourage new wind energy projects in New York. Visit www.AWEA.org for more information on wind energy in New York and the US.
