Environmental Disclosure Label for ConEdison
Solutions July 1, 2005 - June 30, 2006
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 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 Department of Public Service 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.
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 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 emissions 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.
