District Received AEE Region IV Institutional Energy Management Award
APS was named the recipient of the Region IV 2016 Institutional Energy Management Award presented by the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE). Institutional applicants included hospital groups, casinos, and numerous other commercial and governmental entities from the 12-state region that includes neighboring Colorado and Texas. The annual award recognizes comprehensive energy conservation accomplishments and programs that stand out from the rest. The panel of judges deemed the creation of WECC and its inspiring achievements, most notably an invitation to serve as a DOE Better Buildings Challenge Partner, worthy of this esteemed honor (see Better Buildings Challenge). The AEE Award was officially presented to APS on September 20, 2016 in celebration of the opening of the World Energy Engineering Congress held in Washington, D.C. on the following day.
