"We are committed to working with our customers across
Texas to help them accomplish
their sustainability goals and maintain their environmental
commitments," said Gabe Castro, TXU
Energy vice president of business markets. "We are thrilled to
recognize these three outstanding organizations whose initiatives
enhance their standards for energy conservation, improve
efficiency, and represent community stewardship. These companies
have seen tremendous results in pursuit of their energy and
sustainability goals, and we hope their success will influence
other organizations to strive for the same."
The three South Texas-area
winners include:
- Leadership in Innovation – Plains All American Pipeline
Plains All American Pipeline has set new standards for operational
excellence, inspiring others in their industry to follow their
lead. They installed pump variable frequency drives that helped
them recognize a savings of 14,290,000 kWh annually. Not only have
they elected to participate in the 4 Coincident Peak (4CP) program
by curbing usage during ERCOT's peak demand to reduce strain on the
grid, but their active and intentional management of usage during
those periods has resulted in a savings of more than 20% in
transmission and distribution utility charges, while still
maintaining optimal operations.
- Leadership in Energy Management – Magnolia ISD
Magnolia Independent School District has demonstrated excellence in
managing electricity consumption and spend while minimizing the
district's impact on the environment. Magnolia ISD has upgraded to
more energy-efficient equipment and integrated computer-controlled
cooling and heating systems. This helped the district recognize an
estimated savings of 785 kW and 2,203,000 kWh annually. Leveraging
power market insights, energy efficiency best practices, and TXU
Greenback rebates, Magnolia ISD has reduced expenditures by over
25%, providing savings that can be reinvested in the classroom for
their students and faculty.
- Leadership in Community – Star of Hope
Star of Hope is a non-profit organization that serves and exists to
make a difference in the lives of Houston's homeless men, women, and children. A
TXU Energy customer for the last four years, the organization
provides a variety of programs supporting education, employment,
and life management skills to encourage positive life changes. Star
of Hope's various services deliver a comprehensive approach to
addressing a large range of issues that are faced by Houston's homeless such as mental and physical
illness, and lack of education and resources to be successful. By
providing a haven where homeless individuals feel supported, Star
of Hope has backed its community for more than 100 years.
TXU Energy is proud to share the accomplishments of the
recipients of its awards program and will present additional Energy
