The Smart Energy Consumer Collaborative’s Best Practices Awards were developed to recognize leadership from energy providers (including IOUs, public power utilities and retail electricity providers) in the shift toward a more consumer-focused energy ecosystem.

As successors to the CLEAR Awards, which were awarded to three recipients from 2013-2017, the new Best Practices Awards program focuses on real-life examples of customer engagement and education success and provides a blueprint for other electricity providers (and their industry partners) to follow. By focusing on applicable insights, thought leadership and product innovation, it is our hope that these awards spark real and considerable change within the utility industry.
