For the last 17 years, the Interstate Renewable Energy Council has recognised individuals and organisations that have implemented innovative projects during the past year that promote and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy technologies. This year, IREC will present its eighteenth awards in the categories of: Clean Energy Workforce Development, K-12 Education and Training, Community Renewable Energy Projects, and State and Local Government Initiatives.
Eligible programmes or activities include education, energy policy, legislation, regulatory actions, demonstration projects, training programs, or innovative financial business models, while projects must have been initiated during 2010.
The awards will be presented at the IREC Annual Meeting to be held in Dallas, Texas, on Monday, 17 October. Winners will be notified prior to the event and will receive a commemorative plaque recognising their achievement. The winning entries will also be posted on the IREC website, featured in a national press release and listed in a brochure to be distributed to all attendees at the annual meeting.
All entries are due by 10 August 2011 and it should be noted that due to budgetary constraints, no travel assistance stipends are available for award winners this year.
