Constellation NewEnergy will work with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art to ensure that its exhibition is matched by regional geothermal energy.

Constellation NewEnergy, subsidiary of Constellation’s Energy has secured green power for the duration of the exhibition, “Your temp: Olafut Eliasson” (Sept. 8, 2007 through Jan. 13, 2008).

With the exhibition exploring numerous environmental issues including global warming, SFMOMA wanted an energy partner to help reduce the exhibition's carbon footprint. Given SFMOMA's support of locally produced renewable power, Constellation NewEnergy was selected in part because of its ability to match the exhibit's electricity usage with energy generated by the Geysers Geothermal Facility located in Northern California. This clean energy purchase is the equivalent of avoiding the emissions from more than 100 barrels of oil.

"We are proud to support SFMOMA's sustainable environmental practices by securing regional sources of geothermal energy to match the electricity usage for the duration of the 'Your tempo: Olafur Eliasson' exhibition," says Carrie Cullen Hitt, vice president of Product Management – Renewable Products for Constellation NewEnergy. "The presentation's theme of global warming and SFMOMA's environmental efforts are a perfect fit for Constellation NewEnergy's commitment to offer innovative green energy products and solutions to our customers across North America."
