In recognition of meaningful advances in Washington-based clean energy innovation and in the spirit of our founder, the 4th annual David & Patricia Giuliani Clean Energy Entrepreneur Award will be presented on Tuesday January 7th at the Future of Carbon Policy Forum.
The award recognizes meaningful advances in clean energy innovation. The inaugural winner was Kenworth Trucks, the second winner was Myno Carbon, and last year’s winner was Group14.
This year we had a long list of nominees, from which three impressive finalists were selected:
We’ll profile each in the coming days, starting with Airbuild.
Edo is all about Energy & Demand Optimization. Edo partners with utilities to transform buildings, making them grid-interactive to achieve energy efficiency, reliability, and decarbonization. Created by McKinstry and Avista, two corporate leaders representing both sides of the electric meter, Edo aggregates commercial buildings into virtual power plants (VPPs), providing electric utilities with demand flexibility.
Delegates on this year’s Clean & Prosperous Institute Made in Washington Study Mission got to see first-hand Edo’s South Landing Eco District in Spokane, the first large-scale demonstration of how buildings can be transformed into efficient, reliable grid assets. According to Edo, the South Landing Eco District is an all-electric, grid-interactive campus that communicates with the utility grid, creating a seamless flow of energy. During the visit, Edo management shared their vision of a built environment that harmonizes more effectively with the utility through real-time power monitoring and load management, distributed power storage, and thermal exchange technology. By deploying an “active partnership” strategy, buildings operate more efficiently and reduce electricity demand peaks. Best practices learned in this “lab” can be shared and scaled.

Thanks to the entrepreneurial innovation of Airbuild, Atlas Agro, Edo and all our nominees, the future of our economy and our climate is brighter.
Whether you are with a company doing business in Washington state, a tribe, community, or organization representing key constituencies, or a leader working to make life better in our state, the Future of Carbon Policy Forum is where you want to be on January 7th.
