Local utility provider won Innovation Excellence Award for its $34M Sault Smart Grid
The country's first community-wide smart grid project was recognized during this year’s Electricity Distributors Association Awards Ceremony in Toronto, where PUC Services Inc. was presented with the prestigious Innovation Excellence Award.
In November, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the Sault to officially cut the ribbon on the $34-million smart grid, which promises to provide annual costs savings for residential customers, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve the reliability of the city's electrical system. The EDA Awards recognize outstanding achievements and innovations within the energy and utility sector, highlighting organizations that demonstrate exceptional performance, leadership, and commitment to advancing industry standards.
"We are thrilled and honoured to receive the Innovation Award from the Electricity Distributors Association," said Robert Brewer, CEO and President at PUC. "This recognition is a testament to all of our employee's hard work and relentless pursuit of innovation and dedication to delivering exceptional services to our customers while driving positive change in the industry."
