A CPS Energy program is among the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy programs recognized as an outstanding utility-funded energy efficiency program.
“I’m proud of the work our CPS Energy teams do to create and run programs such as Casa Verde,” said DeAnna Hardwick, Chief Customer Engagement Officer at CPS Energy. “This program provides energy efficiency improvements to members of our community who need it most, and on behalf of CPS Energy, we are thankful to the American Council for An Energy Efficient Economy for this recognition.”
ACEEE on Oct. 30 recognized outstanding utility-funded energy efficiency programs for its Leaders of the Pack awards, naming winners in 10 categories and identifying other exemplary programs deserving recognition.
ACEEE staff reviewed nearly 100 nominations from across the country. The committee evaluated programs on factors such as ambitious long-term goals, interim metrics to measure progress, effective marketing reaching target audiences, performance evaluation for ensuring effectiveness, and community engagement, especially with historically underserved communities.
The 2024 Leaders of the Pack included a Residential Weatherization (buildings with one to four units) category.
The winner in this category was CPS Energy’s Casa Verde Program.
The program uses census tract data to serve the most burdened households with insulation, air sealing, and LED lights, saving them an average of $30 to $40 a month.
