The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are honoring four Energy Star partners in Missouri this year.
Emerson Sensi in St. Louis, City of Columbia Water and Light, True Manufacturing in O’Fallon, and Parkway Schools in St. Louis County were selected as recipients of 2021 Energy Star Partner of the Year awards. EPA and DOE named 206 partners from 39 states this year.
“These four diverse partners highlight the range of companies and school districts that can truly make a difference in energy efficiency and community service,” Acting EPA Region 7 Administrator Ed Chu said. “We look forward to their continued partnership and hope others in the St. Louis metropolitan community and beyond will participate in the future.”
