Columbia makes it to Georgetown University Energy Prize Quarterfinals

COLUMBIA, MO (August 7, 2014) - Columbia is among 52 communities to make it to the Georgetown University Energy Prize Quarterfinals for a chance to win $5 million. The City of Columbia, Boone Electric, Ameren UE, Central Missouri Community Action, University of Missouri, Columbia Public Schools and numerous additional community organizations have helped the City’s application advance to the next stage of the contest.

The Georgetown University Energy Prize aims to rethink America’s energy use by harnessing the ingenuity and community spirit of towns and cities across America. Over a two-year period, the Prize will challenge small- to mid-size towns, cities and counties to rethink their energy use and implement creative strategies to increase efficiency. To compete for the Prize, local governments, residents, utilities and others will need to work together to demonstrate success in sustainably reducing energy consumption.
