Enter the Fierce Innovation Awards 2015
The Fierce Innovation Awards: Energy Edition recognize cutting-edge companies leading us to a smarter energy future. Application deadline: Friday, September 25, 11:59 pm ET. The competition is open to any company that has a product, solution or service that is helping to address the challenges faced by utility companies.
Rapid advances in technology along with increasing pressure to address climate change and environmental sustainability are forcing electric utilities to reinvent themselves, and to choose partners from a crowded marketplace of technology providers to help them do it. The Fierce Innovation Awards: Energy Edition are an important vehicle for technology companies to have their product, solution or service stand out from the crowd. The program does not take the place of testing, certifications or on-site pilots, but does help utilities narrow their choices to a short list of technologies they should consider before they select a vendor partner.
A panel of third-party judges from major utility companies will review products, solutions and services with proven, quantifiable track records.
Award categories include the following:
• Business side, recognizing innovations in smart grid technologies and programs that promote more effective and forward-thinking ways to enhance utility performance, both in daily operations and in meeting customers’ increasingly high service expectations.
• Transmission and distribution, recognizing the most effective technologies, applications and practices in grid infrastructure and power management, operations and service reliability.
• End use, recognizing the most effective solutions and programs for achieving energy conservation and efficiency, as well as for enlisting customer participation in those programs.
