Each year the FortisBC PowerSense Conservation Excellence Awards recognize customers who have shown a commitment to innovation, conservation and sustainability by completing energy efficiency projects that save over 100,000 kWhs annually.

The winners were able to achieve these energy savings by incorporating energy efficiency measures into new facility or upgrade projects. Some of these measures include energy efficient lighting, heat recovery systems, Energy Star windows, variable speed drives and process controls.

By participating in FortisBC's energy efficiency programs in 2009, these customers will save nearly 5,595 MWhs, or enough to power 430 homes for a year.

Since its inception, FortisBC PowerSense has helped southern interior customers save more than 329 million kWh, enough energy to power more than 25,000 homes each year.
