April 7, 2020 -- AEP Ohio recognizes multiple customers and partners who have advanced the efficiency of their operations, buildings or customers’ efficiency and shared in the benefits of better lighting, greater comfort, greater productivity, and energy cost savings. The dollars and time customers and our partners have invested in energy efficiency deliver benefits above and beyond their workplaces and homes. They created and maintained Ohio jobs, reduced the environmental impacts of fossil fuel generation, and delayed the need for costly new generation.
Columbus City Schools embraced and participated in the energy efficiency program since its inception and has been awarded Champion level recognition in the 2020 AEP Ohio Energy Efficiency awards.

He will be addressing the benefit of the EE program and the positive influence it has on the success of his mission.
