The Edison Electric Institute (EEI), which represents the nation’s investor-owned utilities (IOUs), on Wednesday unveiled eight finalists for the 2023 Edison Award, an annual award recognizing electric companies for their distinguished leadership, innovation, and contribution to the power industry.
“The companies selected as Edison Award finalists have made tremendous achievements in creating new technologies and in establishing programs that are advancing a clean global economy, improving reliability and resilience, and minimizing cost impacts for all customers,” EEI President Tom Kuhn said Wednesday in a statement. “Each is exceptionally deserving of this recognition.”
An independent panel of reviewers met in March to evaluate the nominations and selected five U.S. and three international electric companies as 2023 Edison Award finalists: American Electric Power, Edison International, Florida Power & Light Co., PPL Electric Utilities, and Puget Sound Energy, as well as the AES Corp., Endeavour Energy, and Terna S.p.A.
One company from each category will be selected to receive the award this summer. Following are highlights for why the reviewers chose each U.S. company.
The winners of the 95th Edison Award will be selected by a panel of former electric company chief executives and will be announced during EEI’s annual thought leadership forum, which is being held June 11-13 in Austin, Texas.
“EEI’s member companies are committed to ensuring that customers have the energy they need when and where they need it, affordably and reliably, as we work to get the energy we provide as clean as we can as fast as we can,” said Kuhn.
