The U.S Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) congratulates the 18 winners of the 2021 Federal Energy and Water Management Awards. These awards recognize individuals, teams, and organizations for outstanding efforts to cut energy waste, reduce costs, optimize performance, and advance America’s progress towards net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
"As the largest energy consumer in the country, the federal government has an outsize responsibility to set the standard for sustainable energy and water management," said Acting Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Kelly Speakes-Backman. "I offer my warmest congratulations to my federal colleagues for their exceptional contributions to our effort to fulfill that responsibility."
The Federal Energy and Water Management Awards are presented annually to federal employees, along with their private-sector partners, who exemplify federal leadership in efficient energy management. All nominations are reviewed and selected by a federal evaluation panel. Each of this year’s awardees successfully implemented cost-effective projects and programs that led to outstanding achievements in energy and water efficiency, resilience, technology, distributed energy, cybersecurity, and vehicle fleet management across the federal government.
