Efficiency. Expertise. An environmental disclosure label provides information on the percentages of fuels used to generate the electricity purchased on your behalf by your supplier and the levels of air pollutants associated with such electricity compared with the statewide average. The New York State (NYS) Public Service Commission requires that all retail electric suppliers provide this information to their customers. We are providing you with the environmental disclosure label developed by the NYS Public Service Commission that compares the electricity purchased by ConEdison Solutions with the New York State average. Fuel Sources: Electricity can be generated using many different fuel sources. The environmental disclosure label provides information on your supplier’s “fuel mix,” i.e., the types and percentages of fuels used to generate the electricity that your supplier purchased for you during a given time period. The data shown below is the most recent data available from the Public Service Commission. However ConEdison Solutions does not purchase power from any specific generator plant(s), but rather purchases electricity supply from the New York Independent Systems Operator (NYISO). NYISO’s generator mix for 2013 is shown in the chart entitled 2013 NYCA Generation by Fuel Type. Biomass - fuels such as wood and other plant matter Coal, natural gas and oil - fossil fuels Hydro - falling water from rivers or dams Nuclear - nuclear energy Solar Power - energy transferred from the sun Solid Waste - fuels such as municipal waste Wind - from wind turbines Air Emissions: The air emissions portion of the environmental disclosure label provides the levels of air pollutants generated compared to the statewide average. These pollutants are associated with the combustion of fossil or other fuels that are used to make electricity. The horizontal bars on the air emissions graph below show how the emission levels of ConEdison Solutions’ electricity compare to the average emission levels (the vertical line) of all the suppliers selling electricity in New York. If the percentage exceeds 100 percent in an air emission category, the emissions level is higher than the statewide average of all the electricity suppliers in the state. Similarly, if the percentage is less than 100 percent, the emissions level is lower than the statewide average.

Depending on fuel source, size, and location, the generation of electricity may also result in other public health, environmental and socio-economic impacts not disclosed above.

These figures reflect the renewables that we have contracted to provide. Actual figures may vary according to resource availability. We will annually report to you before August 1 of the following year in the form of the Historic Product Content Label the actual resource mix of the electricity you purchased. 2. New Renewables come from generation facilities that first began commercial operation within the past 15 years. For comparison, according to the New York DPS (2014), the average mix of New York State’s energy generation is: Coal‐ fired (5%), Nuclear (31%), Oil (1%), Natural Gas (36%), Hydroelectric (23%), and Other (4%).
