Recognize and Reward Innovative Excellence at Your Utility
Every fall, at the annual E Source Forum, we hold an awards ceremony, where we recognize the best and brightest people and utilities from across North America who are driving innovation, efficiency, and customer-centricity in the energy industry. This year, we’ll be presenting several awards, including the:
New this year, the Jim Rogers Innovation Award honors the late Jim Rogers—former chairman and CEO of Duke Energy and founding member of the E Source advisory board—an industry juggernaut who was known for his concern about climate change and his efforts to move away from coal power.
We welcome and encourage all utilities to submit entries
These competitions are open to all utility professionals—you don’t have to be an E Source member—and there’s no fee to participate.
We can’t wait to see how you’re pushing the envelope in creativity, customer-centricity, and innovation this year. We’ll announce the winners at the awards luncheon at the 2019 E Source Forum, September 17 to 20, 2019, in Denver. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the awards, please contact us.
