Energy Manager of the Year Awards

Award Nomination Deadline has been extended to
December 20th, 2019

Call for submissions for the 2019 IESO Energy Manager of the Year awards.

Are you working on innovative energy-efficiency projects in your organization?

Have you seen the benefits of facility baselining and data analytics in proving the value of energy-efficiency projects? 

Have you also implemented internal communication programs and/or staff training within your organization to promote that energy management is a whole organizational effort?

If this sounds like you, put your name forward to be considered for one of the 2019 Energy Manager of the Year awards. Winners will be showcased in a dedicated video and presented their awards at the 2019 Energy Manager Forum event to be held this spring in Toronto.

Benefits of the Awards


Award winners and their organizations will have the opportunity to participate in a dedicated award video.

These award videos will raise the credibility of your company’s energy manager leadership in Ontario. Plus, your company will be given a copy of the video for its own distribution.

An award plaque will be presented to the energy manager’s organization and an individual plaque for the award winners. Both you and your company are recognized.

These awards prove energy management adds value to an organization.  In less than two years, Lake Shore Gold went from a program in its infancy to saving the most electricity in 2018.  The awards have built momentum and facilitated buy-in for projects furthering our energy agenda.  Personally, these awards helped catapult me to becoming the first Canadian awarded International Energy Engineer of the Year.
