Shining Like a STAR

May 9, 2022

Potomac Edison recently received a 2022 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year Award in recognition of its efforts to improve energy efficiency and reduce pollution in Maryland – and resulting in significant cost savings for customers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy presented the award.

“Our efforts not only in Maryland, but in all of the communities we serve, are a reflection of the emphasis FirstEnergy places on environmental stewardship,” said Linda Moss, president, Maryland Operations. “We’re extremely proud of the work our team has done over the past 12 months to help customers of Potomac Edison efficiently manage their energy use while implementing programs and practices that also support a clean environment.”

Nicole Williams, manager, Energy Efficiency – Residential Programs, added: “The Residential Energy Efficiency Team is grateful for the recognition received from ENERGY STAR – as this is the highest level of EPA recognition.  The team has worked diligently to offer programs to residential customers that both educate and provide savings to customers on products with the ENERGY STAR logo.”

Partner of the Year Award winners must demonstrate superior leadership, innovation and commitment to environmental protection through energy efficiency and ENERGY STAR. Potomac Edison was one of 210 companies honored with awards from the thousands of organizations that participate in the program, and it marks the second time the company has been recognized in the Residential Energy Efficiency Program Delivery category.
