As a state-accredited energy services company, ConEdison is entitled to offer a range of energy efficiency services to state-owned agencies and universities.

In 2007, 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.

Jorge Lopez, president and CEO of ConEdison Solutions, said: Energy efficiency saves taxpayer dollars, preserves the environment and reduces America’s dependence on overseas fuel supplies. By making a substantial commitment to energy-efficient public buildings, the state of North Carolina is setting an excellent example for state governments nationwide.
