Constellation Energy
Efficiency Made Easy (EME)
On-Bill Funding

Constellation's Efficiency Made Easy "EME" program is the nation's No. 1 "fast and simplified" funding program for energy efficiency projects. Constellation's EME program provides flexible terms and minimal restrictions on what type of projects qualify. There is no limit on the amount of financing, and projects under $250,000 usually are approved in one week, requiring zero financials. Constellation's only requirement is that you enter into a PPA power purchase agreement to purchase electric or gas for a period equal to the financing term. In almost every case, the electric supply rate Constellation offers will be less than your current rate.

Rich Energy Solutions is Constellation's #1 EME channel partner in the US, with over 1000 customers saving significant operation and maintenance costs on a daily basis.
