More than awards - a ten year program to drive electrification mainstream

From spotlighting breakthrough innovation to shaping policy

We drive change where it matters most—on the ground in states, cities, and counties across the country. Through immersive site visits, we bring policymakers and stakeholders face-to-face with innovators and the technologies transforming communities today. By showcasing scalable innovations and meeting the people behind them, by showcasing scalable innovations and uplifting the people behind them, we can advance best-practices and policies to supercharge America’s economy.

Every year, our awards recognize and uplift the best leading-edge examples of electrification and connect them with policymakers from all 50 states who are invited to the awards ceremony to meet awardees, understand the potential for our economy, and have the opportunity to learn from each other to identify barriers policy can help change.

Throughout the year we bring groups of key policymakers into the field—connecting them to see first-hand leading examples of electrification in action. We enable conversations with the innovators behind new technology, and between elected peers from around the country working on the same issues to catalyze collaboration and bold leadership through lived experience.
