Impact Award

Deadline for entry: Tuesday, March 31, 2026

Building on the legacy of UTC awards, we have established the Impact Awards. The Impact Awards will honor the UTC Associate Member Organizations making a great impact on our industry through an innovative and proven solution. Members can choose one of three categories areas: Hardware, Software or Service.

Criteria
While difficult to define precise, objective metrics that unambiguously determine how companies and concepts rank for each evaluation criteria, we have developed a set of ranking assessments based on four key criteria:
AVAILABILITY: This is an innovation that is already in the marketplace, addressing a real need and/or solving a problem today.
EFFICIENCY IMPROVEMENTS: This technology innovation is meeting a need while improving outcomes or reducing risks to the customer and/or the utility. It may save time or money, lower cost, improves security, or even makes money for a utility.
SUSTAINABILITY: The technology innovation supports sustainability, social responsibility or green initiatives - innovation that not only demonstrated commercial success, but also considers broader implications.
IMPACT: Immediate and longer-term impact that the innovation has on the utility industry or/and society as a whole.
Eligibility
Submitted technology must be from an UTC Associate Member in good standing, serving the utilities industry, any size, any geographic location
All submissions by vendors must be further supported by utility companies comprised of UTC members and/or non-members. (Meaning the utility using the technology does NOT have to be a UTC member, but the vendor must be).
