We are quickly approaching the close of the nominations window for SECC's 2025 Best Practices Awards, a unique awards program that highlights leadership from electricity providers in developing consumer-centric programs, services and strategies. If you plan on submitting nominations for consideration, the deadline is Friday, November 1.

For the 2025 awards, we will again recognize providers in six categories, including the Energy Equity Award, which was introduced in 2022 to recognize initiatives that are advancing a more equitable energy system. The other categories are Consumer Education, Smart Energy Innovation, SMB Engagement, Consumer Engagement and Culture Transformation.

Following the end of the nominations window on Friday, November 1, all nominations will be reviewed by an independent advisory panel, and winners will be notified under embargo in December. We will recognize the winners at the 2025 Consumer Symposium, co-located with DISTRIBUTECH in Dallas.
