Idaho Awards for Leadership in Energy Efficiency

The Idaho Awards for Leadership in Energy Efficiency application period is now closed.

The Idaho Awards for Leadership in Energy Efficiency honors businesses and government entities located in Idaho for their achievements in reducing their energy consumption over the past year. These awards recognize entities who have measurably benefited their communities by improving their operation processes, upgrading structures with cost-effective, efficient technologies, and establishing programs that build a strong culture encouraging participation in energy saving activities. There are three different classifications – small business, large business, and government entities – and four geographic regions: north, central, southwest, and southeast. An award in each category will be issued in each region. One applicant whose outstanding energy efficiency efforts over the past year have significantly benefited its community will be chosen to receive the Governor’s Award for Leadership in Energy Efficiency.
