Demonstration of Energy-Efficient Developments (DEED) Awards, American Public Power Association, USA

The Demonstration of Energy-Efficient Developments (DEED) program was established in 1980 by the American Public Power Association. The purpose of this research, development and demonstration program is to sponsor and conduct activities related to energy innovation, improving efficiencies and lowering the cost of providing energy services to the customers of publicly owned electric utilities.

The DEED program offers funding for projects that will develop and demonstrate new technologies and techniques. Funding for DEED-sponsored projects comes in the form of grants to DEED member utilities, scholarships to university students studying in energy-related disciplines, and joint projects with APPA committees as well as funding for technical design projects conducted by students.

APPA is the national service organization for community-owned, not-for-profit electric utilities.

CRITERIA FOR TECHNICAL DESIGN PROJECT AWARD:
DEED technical design projects are intended to promote the involvement of students studying in energy-related disciplines in the public power industry. Successful applicants are expected to complete a technical design project and submit a final report on the project, describing activities, cost, bibliography, achievements, problems, results, and recommendations. A two-page summary abstract is also required. In addition, the student(s) will travel to the next APPA Engineering & Operations Technical Conference to present their project to the conference.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLICANTS:
Only students studying in energy-related disciplines from accredited colleges or universities are eligible for technical design project funding. Applicants will not be discriminated against on the basis of sex, race, religion, national origin, or citizenship.
