• RWE recognized as a 2023 Top Performer for Energy Storage Solutions for the second year in a row
• The company also received 2023 Smart E-Loan Top Performer

RWE, a leading renewable energy company in the U.S., received two awards from Connecticut Green Bank including 2023 Top Performer for Energy Storage Solutions for the second year in a row and Smart E-Loan Top Performer.

Tom Sweeney, Senior Vice President of Distributed Clean Energy Development for RWE Clean Energy: “Being recognized for the second year in a row is a huge honor as we are committed to helping customers and utilities be resilient in the face of climate change. We have ambitious goals in the U.S. and in order to reach those, programs like Energy Storage Solutions by Green Bank are vital to maximizing our efforts.”

The Connecticut Green Bank established the Green Bank Awards to honor companies advancing the green energy movement and helping bring resilience, health, and equity to Connecticut. Launched in 2022, Energy Storage Solutions is a Public Utilities Regulatory Authority (PURA) program that serves two purposes. First, it incentivizes customers to install batteries in their homes and businesses, helping customers lower their energy costs and increase their resilience when weather-related outages occur. Second, the energy storage systems are available to the local utility to be called on during times of peak load, decreasing the risks of outages and the need for additional transmission and generation assets.  

The Distributed Clean Energy Development team (“DCE”) designs, develops and constructs clean energy systems that serve both commercial and industrial customers and local utilities across the northeast and the rest of the U.S. With more than 200 megawatts of operating assets and more than one gigawatt of projects in its pipeline, the DCE team is accelerating the decarbonization efforts of customers and utilities at the distribution level.
