Event Tabs Default Post-Event
Since 1993, the energy efficiency community has gathered at the Alliance’s Evening with the Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Gala to honor the outstanding work of our peers. While COVID-19 and the Delta variant have put a damper in our plans for a full-scale gala this year, we are thrilled to welcome energy efficiency leaders from industry, government, and academia to a celebratory reception in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, November 3, as we celebrate our 2021 award recipients:
- Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York
- PSE&G
- Southern California Edison
- Steve Wright, General Manager, Chelan PUD
Dig out your cocktail attire from the back of the closet and purchase a ticket to join us for what promises to be one of our most celebratory years yet, as we host our first in-person event in nearly two years! Historically, the Gala has served as the Alliance’s largest annual fundraiser, so your purchase will not only include a fun evening with EE’s best and brightest, it also will support the Alliance’s important advocacy work. If you’d like to further demonstrate your support of energy efficiency and the Alliance, please reach out to Felicia Kelly for more information on sponsorship opportunities.
Congratulations to our 2021 Star of Energy Award Recipients who were selected by the Alliance’s Development Committee from a robust and impressive pool of nominations.
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York will receive a Star of Energy Efficiency award. Starting in 2015, the Archdiocese of New York leadership identified the need to improve building performance and reduce energy expenses at its nearly 300 parishes including church buildings, schools, rectories, and other large and small buildings. Through an energy conservation initiative in partnership with New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, TRC, and local utility companies, the Archdiocese will save more than $3.3 million in energy costs and a reduction of more than 7,000 tons in carbon emissions.
PSE&G will receive a Star of Energy Efficiency award for its landmark Clean Energy Future-Energy Efficiency initiative. PSE&G is leading New Jersey toward a cleaner, more sustainable future. The $1 billion program will help customers reduce their energy consumption and energy bills while providing environmental benefits, creating jobs, and boosting New Jersey’s economy. Over three years, those energy efficiency investments are expected to deliver $1 billion in net customer savings, create 3,200 jobs and help New Jersey avoid 8 million metric tons of carbon emissions through 2050.
Southern California Edison will receive the Innovative Star of Energy Efficiency award for the Clean Energy Optimization Pilot, the first comprehensive pay-for-performance greenhouse gas emissions pilot in the state. The $20 million pilot gives participants the flexibility to decide what implementation strategies will be the most effective for each campus. During the first pilot year, five of the seven university pilot participants reduced CO2 emissions by more than 56,000 metric tons and received a combined total of over $4.5 million in incentives. This is more than 3% of total emissions reduced and equivalent to taking 12,000 cars off the road for a year.
Steve Wright, General Manager, Chelan PUD, will be honored with the Charles H. Percy Award for Public Service in recognition of a career that spans over four decades of public service in the energy industry. The first 32 years of Steve’s career were spent at the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA), including 12 years as Administrator, during which time he oversaw substantial increases in energy efficiency investments, earning BPA a Star of Energy Efficiency award from the Alliance in 2004. Steve has served as the General Manager of the Chelan County Public Utility District since 2013, during which time he led the development of a community-based Strategic Plan encompassing aggressive energy efficiency programs. Steve joined the Alliance Board of Directors in 2017 and has been an ardent supporter of our organization and the cause of energy efficiency.
