DTE Energy’s Energy Efficiency Awards
The Energy Efficiency Awards are presented in four categories:
Education, Impact, Innovation and Leadership. These awards
recognize companies that have made the most effective
contribution towards energy efficiency initiatives. The Education
award focuses on educating others about energy efficiency. The
impact award recognizes a company that has reduced energy by
implementing a significant energy project. The Innovation award
will be presented for developing or implementing a new and
innovative program, idea or product. The Leadership award is
presented to an organization for championing energy efficiency
at their company.
