Energy Innovator Award (EIA) Nomination
DEED recognizes the innovative programs of its members through the Energy Innovator Award. These awards are made annually to honor utilities that have demonstrated advances in the development or application of creative, energy-efficient techniques or technologies.
Eligibility
Only APPA members who are current members of DEED and were members of the DEED program in 2020 are eligible to submit programs for award consideration. DEED member utilities may submit only ONE application for this award each year. Refer to the DEED Policy Manual for more details on this award.
Judging
Energy Innovator Award winners are chosen by an outside panel of judges carefully selected from leaders in the energy industry, public office, the media, and private business. Creativity, resource efficiency, benefits to consumers, transferability, and project scope in relation to utility size are some of the criteria used by judges when evaluating nominations.
Please do not send additional materials such as videotapes, software, and brochures which cannot be distributed to the judges. Instead, please provide narrative descriptions of any multimedia or audiovisual elements of your program. URLs (NOT embedded hyperlinks) with a description of the page can be provided in your responses.
