EERE ...the Energy Department today recognized utilities in California and Washington with the 2013 Public Power Wind award. Southern California Public Power Authority and Snohomish County Public Utility District received awards today at the American Public Power Association's (APPA) annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee, for outstanding efforts to accelerate the use of wind energy.
In 2003, APPA and the Energy Department's Wind Powering America initiative created the Public Power Wind award to recognize and encourage community-owned electric utilities that demonstrate outstanding leadership in advancing wind power in the United States. The Public Power Wind award supports the Obama Administration's efforts to increase domestic energy production and deliver clean, renewable energy to families and businesses across the nation.
