In recognition of their distinguished leadership, innovation, and progress in advancing the electric power industry, eight U.S. and two international electric companies have been named as finalists for the Edison Electric Institute’s (EEI’s) 2016 Edison Award, the electric power industry’s most prestigious honor.

A committee of energy trade publication editors has selected American Electric Power, Arizona Public Service Company, Edison International, The Empire District Electric Company, Green Mountain Power, Indianapolis Power & Light Company, Vermont Electric Power Company, and Xcel Energy as finalists for this year’s U.S. Edison Award, while The AES Corporation and CESC Limited were named finalists for the International Edison Award.

“Our industry is in the midst of a profound transformation, and this year’s Edison Award finalists demonstrate that innovative and groundbreaking projects are underway across the electric power industry,” said EEI President Tom Kuhn. “These companies are delivering the energy future that customers want by building smarter energy infrastructure, providing clean energy, and creating innovative energy solutions.” The 89th annual Edison Award will be presented in June during the EEI Annual Convention in Chicago. A panel of former electric company chief executives will select the winning U.S. and international companies.
