Three project teams led by Exelon engineers and innovators have been selected to receive the Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) 2020 Technology Transfer Awards, underscoring Exelon’s commitment to powering a cleaner and brighter future for customers and communities.
The annual EPRI Technology Transfer Awards spotlight the value of collaborative research to the electricity sector and recognize the leaders and innovators who have applied EPRI research to produce significant results for customers. This year, Exelon teams won three of 19 awards in the Power Delivery and Utilization sector – a significant achievement. Exelon award winners are being honored for their leadership and innovation on collaborative research and technology projects.
“More than 50 Exelon employees collaborated across three teams to win these prestigious awards,” said Joe Svachula, vice-president, strategy for Exelon Utilities and an EPRI Sector Council representative. “The hard work, commitment, and leadership demonstrated by these award winners will make electricity more reliable, efficient, affordable, safe, and environmentally responsible for our customers and communities.”
The Exelon award winners, who were honored at a virtual celebration last week, have shown exceptional application of research and technology in solving a problem of size and significance, championing a technology both within their companies and across the industry, driving progress in the electricity sector, and providing meaningful benefits for their companies’ stakeholders and for society, EPRI said.
“These awards show firsthand that Exelon is a leader in the electric power industry as we move towards a clean energy future,” said Rob Chapman, Senior Vice President of Energy Delivery and Customer Solutions at EPRI. “Our relationship is a true collaborative effort with both sides contributing to the success of the other.”
This year, the Power Delivery and Utilization sector received more than 100 nominations, of which 19 were recognized with awards.
