Each year, the Inspiring Efficiency Awards recognize Midwest leaders who deliver groundbreaking advancements in energy efficiency in five categories: Leadership, Education, Impact, Marketing, and Innovation.

The awards are presented at our Annual Inspiring Efficiency Awards Dinner & Gala during the Midwest Energy Solutions Conference. This year's event will be held February 27, 2020 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown Magnificent Mile. 

On October 5, 2018, a nationwide network will promote the benefits of energy efficiency, for the third annual Energy Efficiency Day campaign.
