The fourth annual Premier's Awards for Energy Efficiency were presented to 13 recipients by Premier David Alward in Fredericton.

 

The awards were developed by Efficiency NB to recognize innovation and leadership in energy efficiency in New Brunswick.

 

Alward said New Brunswickers should be proud of what is being accomplished throughout the province.

 

“This year's winners have demonstrated, in all regions of New Brunswick, the benefits of energy efficiency to the environment and also to a strong and sustainable economy,” he said. “They have become advocates for reducing energy use in their homes, workplaces and communities. This leadership has resulted in significant energy cost savings, local investment and important reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.”
