Environmental Information
for Electricity

The electricity you consume comes from the PJM power grid, which receives power from a variety of power plants and transmits the power throughout the region as needed to meet the requirements of all customers in PJM. When you choose a power supplier, that supplier is responsible for generating and/or purchasing power that is added to the power grid in an amount equivalent to your electricity use. ConEdison Solutions electricity customers are served by system power from PJM. ConEdison Solutions does not provide power from any particular generating facilities as part of its service under this program. ConEdison Solutions’ contracts for power are not tied to the electric output of any particular power plant.

Electricity can be generated in a number of ways with different impacts on the environment. The standardized environmental information shown below allows you to compare this product with electricity products offered by other electric suppliers.

Air Emissions
The emissions data given are default values and represent the average amount of air pollution associated with the generation of electricity in the region. This amount is compared to the New Jersey benchmark. The benchmark approximates the average emission rate for all electricity generation in New Jersey. CO2 is a greenhouse gasº which may contribute to global climate change. SO2 and NO2 also reacts to form acids found in acid rain. NO2 also reacts to form ground level ozone, an unhealthful component of smog.
