Presented annually, EPRI's Technology Transfer Awards recognize power system leaders and innovators who have helped their companies deliver safe, affordable, reliable and environmentally responsible electricity via the application of research and development in the utility industry.
The 2021 Technology Transfer Award recognizes the use of EPRI's Electrification Portfolio Assessment tool to identify high-impact electrification technologies to reduce natural gas use and related emissions. This technology research project identified more than one million megawatt-hours of electrification opportunities for LG&E and KU industrial and commercial customers to reduce emissions and lower costs by electrifying equipment, including forklifts, and processes such as curing, drying and resistance heating. This research will help inform future customer engagement, programs and investments.
'This EPRI Technology Transfer award, which is one of many our company has received, recognizes our continued leadership in research and innovation,' said
