2009 Star of Energy Efficiency Award Nominees

The 17th Annual Evening With the Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards Dinner

The Stars of Energy Efficiency Awards honor those entities who have demonstrated a significant tangible contribution to the cause of energy efficiency and/or contribution to the energy security of our nation. The Alliance received an overwhelming number of impressive nominations in 2009 and while the Alliance is only able to select one award winner within each category, all of the nominations should be commended for their commitment to energy efficiency.

We've made all the nominations available below to recognize the hard work that these companies and individuals have put towards increasing impact of energy efficiency.

Charles H. Percy Award for Public Service
