EWEB Energy Management Services recognized for exemplary conservation programs

As part of a national awards program to honor America’s best energy efficiency programs, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), a nonprofit research group based in Washington, D.C., has recognized Eugene Water & Electric Board’s Energy Management Services as an “exemplary program.”
Programs selected for this honor were judged especially noteworthy for their effectiveness and innovation in helping customers achieve greater levels of energy efficiency in their homes and business facilities.

“These programs are delivering energy savings that are critical in helping customers cope with today’s high energy costs, plus they make an important environmental contribution because they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” noted Martin Kushler, Ph.D., ACEEE’s Utilities Program Director. “ACEEE conducted this national review to recognize outstanding energy efficiency programs and honor the people and organizations responsible for their success. Programs such as EWEB’s demonstrate the very real value of energy efficiency to the customers it serves.”

ACEEE is a nonprofit organization dedicated to research and policy development to advance energy efficiency as a means of promoting both economic prosperity and environmental protection. For more information, visit aceee.org.
