Each year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Department of Energy (DOE) honor organizations that have made outstanding contributions to protecting the environment through energy efficiency.

Next year’s winners will be recognized at the ENERGY STAR Awards Ceremony on April 26, 2017 in Washington D.C. All organizations participating in the ENERGY STAR program are encouraged to apply for a 2017 ENERGY STAR Award. To be considered for an award, organizations must meet eligibility requirements and submit a complete online application package by 8 p.m. EST, December 7, 2016.

This year Energy Star is again asking applicants to notify them of your intent to apply for an award. Please use your “My ENERGY STAR Account” (MESA) to complete this action by October 17, 2016. This will help improve the timeliness of the entire process.
