Under the new agreement, Comverge and Con Edison will help nearly 7,200 customers to reduce their energy consumption.

Comverge and Con Edison collaborated to design a program that helps Homeless Services facilities operate more efficiently.

The new program calls for facilities to install energy efficient measures to reduce energy use during times of peak demand.

Department of Homeless Services Facility Maintenance and Development acting deputy commissioner Todd Hamilton said by partnering with Comverge and Con Edison, Homeless Services is able to strike a balance of serving our clients while effectively managing energy.
