Technology Vendor in Smart Grid Customer Education
Opower (NYSE: OPWR), the global leader in cloud-based software
for the utility industry, was today named winner of the Smart Grid
Consumer Collaborative’s CLEAR Award, recognizing Opower as the top
technology vendor in smart grid customer education. Opower was
awarded the CLEAR Award for its innovative, customer-centric Points

The award, now in its third year, recognizes the top utility,

leadership, excellence, authenticity, and results. Pepco Holdings

“Opower, Pepco Holdings Inc. and The Greenlining Institute are
doing outstanding work and we want to recognize and honor what they
have accomplished,” said SGCC Executive Director Patty Durand.
"Additionally, these SGCC members are at the forefront of the
industry by building innovative smart grid consumer education
programs through a consumer-first mindset, which encourage
collaboration and high engagement with consumers.”

working with over 95 utility partners around the world. Opower’s
powerful customer engagement platform includes a suite of products

"We are honored to receive the Smart Grid Consumer
Collaborative's CLEAR Award," said Alex Kinnier, Senior Vice
President of Product at Opower. "This award reflects our commitment
to empowering consumers with information and tools to take control
over their energy consumption, while improving the utility-customer
