The Power Sources Manufacturers Association (PSMA), with a mission to serve the needs of the power sources users, providers, and PSMA members, has announced the call for nominations for its 'Global Energy Efficiency Awards'. The award emphasizes the critical impact of improvements in energy efficiency on reducing global climate change.

Nominations will be accepted from April 22 until Sept. 3, 2024. PSMA, co-sponsor of the annual Applied Power Electronics Conference (APEC), will announce the winners at the PSMA annual meeting next March. Award recipients will be recognized during the APEC 2025 conference and exhibition being held in Atlanta on March 10, 2025.

Nominees need not be PSMA members and can be located anywhere in the world. The focus of the award criteria is both energy efficiency and the environmental impact of the system. This award is not restricted to systems introduced within the past 12 months. Instead, the significance of the system’s impact or potential impact on energy consumption is of preeminent concern to PSMA’s panel of expert judges. Go to Nomination Forms on the PSMA website to submit a nomination. There is no cost to nominate a candidate.

“Energy efficiency is a consideration in the work of nearly all of the fourteen committees and many forums, publications, technical workshops, seminars and conference tracks that comprise PSMA’s contributions to the industry,” said Trifon Liakopoulos, PSMA’s board chair. “The presentation of this singular award in connection with the organization’s 40th anniversary truly reflects PSMA’s raison d'être.”
