The Energy Awards celebrates the energy industry's innovations and achievements globally in best practice, business excellence, customer service and industry collaboration across 13 categories. 50 experts were selected to be judges for The Energy Award 2023 from significant figures and clients across the energy industry.

Ameresco's project with Colorado Mountain College and Holy Cross Energy has been named a finalist for Energy Efficient Partnership of the Year for the company’s collaborative energy reduction and savings efforts. Ameresco entered into a power purchase agreement with Holy Cross Energy (HCE), to construct and install a battery energy storage system on land owned by Colorado Mountain College (CMC) and leased by Ameresco. As the largest installation of its kind in Colorado, the combined solar and battery work furthers HCE's goal of increasing the clean energy sources it provides to its members to 100% by 2030 and completely offsetting its greenhouse gas emission to net zero by 2035. The project offsets 100% of the electricity use of three CMC campuses. Through innovative financial models and climate-driven technology, all parties could eliminate concerns around potential financial barriers and focus on providing the most effective solutions to each party's environmental goals. The avoided annual greenhouse is equivalent to removing 1,481 passenger vehicles from the road or not burning 7,551,050 pounds of coal.
