Award recognizes four recipients in the
categories of sustainability, energy management, community, and
innovation
IRVING,
Texas, May 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TXU Energy
today announced its recognition of four innovative, Houston-area companies as category winners in
the 2022 TXU Energy Leadership Award Program. This program
highlights corporate and non-profit leaders who define energy
responsibility. The awards were announced in conjunction with the
TXU Energy Summit held today in Houston.
Gabe Castro, senior vice
president of business markets for TXU Energy, stated, "We pride
ourselves on being leaders in sustainability, energy management,
community giving, and innovation. We are proud to recognize
customers who share these values and live their commitment through
best-in-class practices. By recognizing these success stories,
we're confident energy leaders across Texas will follow suit."
The four South Texas-area
winners include:
- Leadership in Sustainability – City of Angleton, Texas
The City of Angleton is
committed to serving its nearly 20,000 residents with sustainable
energy solutions. The city recently upgraded 46 park lights,
replacing traditional bulbs with solar LED lights. The improvement
will save 45,000 kWh hours each year and lower electrical
infrastructure costs. The city is also installing solar
streetlights to save energy and increase public safety.
The city recently partnered with TXU Energy to plant 10 large
trees for residents to enjoy.
- Leadership in Innovation – Tubular Services
Houston-based Tubular Services
put technology to work to power a pipe finishing plant. The company
recently installed a real-time demand response system to monitor
grid conditions and energy pricing. The system alerts Tubular when
energy prices cross a pre-determined threshold. Adjusting energy
use at peak times has saved the company money and enhanced grid
reliability across the state.
- Leadership in Energy Management – Landmark
Industries
Landmark Industries is one of Texas' largest convenience store owners, with
nearly 300 locations operating under the Timewise brand. The
company recently made a major investment in clean energy solutions,
retrofitting interior and exterior lighting at 246 stores with LED
bulbs. The upgrade has reduced lighting energy usage by nearly
90%.
- Leadership in Community – Katy Christian Ministries
Katy Christian Ministries is changing lives through a variety of
programs, including its food pantry and family crisis center. The
nonprofit is also a partner in TXU Energy Aid, which uses donations
from the company, our employees, customers, and other Texans to
help thousands of families pay their electric bills. Katy Christian
Ministries has used the funding to assist clients in a moment of
need and help them build a path to becoming self-sufficient.
TXU Energy is proud to share the accomplishments of the
recipients of its awards program and will present additional Energy
Leadership Awards this fall at its Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex
summit. Learn more about what TXU Energy can do to help your
