Constellation Partners with Microsoft to Develop 24/7/365 Real-Time Carbon-Free Energy Matching Tech Solution

Constellation announced it is collaborating with Microsoft on the development of a 24/7/365 energy matching technology solution that allows customers to fully achieve their zero emissions goals.

For more than 150 years, the electric power industry has been focused on matching generation capacity with customer demand to ensure 24/7/365 reliability.

Constellation will soon be providing customers a better and more environmentally conscious option, utilizing breakthrough technology to match a customer’s power needs with local carbon-free energy sources, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

By combining renewable and clean energy with exciting new technologies such as battery storage, fuel cells and hydrogen, Constellation will provide customers with a real-time, data-driven carbon accounting solution that goes beyond the current practice of annualizing renewable energy certificates and credits.

As it develops this product, Constellation will be working with Microsoft to create software that gives customers a transparent and independently verified view of their sustainability efforts.

“Constellation is leading our nation’s response to the climate crisis, and we are building new tools to accelerate progress on behalf of our customers. Our new 24/7/365 real-time energy matching solution will allow customers to fully achieve their zero emissions goals,” said Joseph Dominguez, CEO of Constellation. “This Microsoft partnership aligns with both companies’ commitment to advancing the critical transition to carbon-free energy. Our collective expertise supports customers’ increasing need to understand and reduce their carbon footprints.”

“In addition to collaborating with Constellation to develop the 24/7/365 solution, Microsoft will become one of its first customers, pioneering use of the new tools to intake, store, match and report emissions data on an hourly basis,” said Ravi Krishnaswamy, corporate vice president, Microsoft Cloud for Industry. “Over time, we look forward to realizing additional synergies between the two companies to further enhance our ability to serve our customers while advancing Microsoft’s commitment to sustainability.”
