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.

NOTE:
Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are key pollutants that contribute to acid rain and smog,
and carbon dioxide, contributes to global climate change. 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%). The average home in the United States uses 909 kWh per month, [source U.S. EIA, 2013.] For specific information about this electricity product, please contact ConEdison Solutions at 1‐888‐320‐8991 or visit www.conedsolutions.com. Green‐e Energy certifies that the wind power in Green Power meets the minimum environmental and consumer protection standards set forth by the non‐profit Center for Resource Solutions Learn more at www.greene.org.
