TAMPA, FLORIDA, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ — The Association of Edison Illuminating Companies (AEIC), the electric utility industry’s longest-serving and preeminent association of leading operations experts, announced today that Tampa Electric Co. (TECO) has received the Association’s 2021 Top 10 Achievement Award.
The AEIC Achievement Awards are the Association’s most prestigious awards. They are presented annually to AEIC member companies, committees, or subcommittees who have clearly demonstrated significant contributions to advancing the operations of the electric energy industry.
TECO is recognized for working with Emera Technologies to implement BlockEnergy, a rate-based alternative for distributed energy solutions. The program addresses the migration of customers toward behind-the-meter technologies to protect their critical loads, with a goal of bringing more value and reliability to customers seeking greener energy solutions. BlockEnergy is currently being piloted in 37 homes and was approved by the Florida Public Service Commission in May.
"AEIC is delighted to honor Tampa Electric Co. for their leadership and this transformative program,” said Steve Hauser, chief executive officer of AEIC. “BlockEnergy exemplifies the innovative thinking we need as an industry to achieve a modern grid, and we look forward to seeing how they continue to expand this new initiative."
