Advancing Operational Excellence
Steve Hauser is CEO of the Association of Edison Illuminating Companies.
The Association of Edison Illuminating Companies (AEIC) recently announced the winners of its 2025 Annual Achievement Awards at the organization’s 141st Annual Meeting in Charleston. AEIC’s Achievement Awards are presented each year to member companies who have clearly demonstrated significant contributions to advancing operational excellence in the electric utility industry.
This year, AEIC selected eleven award recipients from more than fifty submissions received from member companies. These award winners earned recognition for developing innovative and transformational solutions to some of today’s most challenging operational issues that have achieved success by demonstrating measurable results.
“Each of these award-winning projects exemplifies AEIC’s culture of innovation and collaboration both within and across our member companies,” said Steve Hauser, AEIC CEO. “The ability to align diverse team members and stakeholders around a shared vision is instrumental to the success of projects of this scale and magnitude. Their success has not only addressed immediate operational challenges within their own utilities but also laid the foundation for future knowledge-sharing, scalability, innovation throughout the industry.”
