Constellation Energy, Chicago White Sox Team Up to Promote Environmental Stewardship with Renewable Energy, Tree-Planting

Constellation Energy (NYSE:CEG), a leading competitive electricity supplier, today announced a long-term environmental sustainability effort with the Chicago White Sox organization that begins by powering the Sox game on Saturday, April 30, against the Baltimore Orioles with 100 percent renewable energy certificates.

The focus on environmental stewardship begins several hours before the game when the White Sox Volunteer Corps, Constellation Energy and several White Sox players will plant four trees and place mulch on the playground at Armour Square Park, across the street from the ballpark.

“We are always looking to provide our loyal fans with valuable offerings, services and experiences, and we know Constellation Energy will help us achieve that for years to come,” said Brooks Boyer, senior vice president of sales and marketing for the Chicago White Sox.

“We are excited to begin this long-term effort with the Chicago White Sox to promote clean energy and enhance the environment,” said Bruce Stewart, chief marketing officer, Retail Energy, for Constellation Energy. “This new effort signifies our commitment to provide green electricity choice to more than 2 million Chicagoland residents and begins a great collaboration with the White Sox organization.”

Constellation Energy will power the first “green game” at U.S. Cellular Field by purchasing renewable energy certificates (RECs) to cover the electricity use on game day. Constellation Energy also is offering a new green electricity plan to Chicagoland residents that guarantees at least 10 percent green energy when customers choose Constellation as their electricity supplier.

The White Sox “green game” is powered by Green-e certified RECs which represent the environmental benefits of electricity generated by wind, solar or other renewable power facilities. More than 1,500 White Sox employees will wear special green T-shirts commemorating the game and fireworks afterward; Constellation sponsorship activities will continue at 11 more White Sox games this season.
