International District Energy Association recognizes Veolia Energy for its significant growth in 2009

Boston, MA. — Veolia Energy North America, a leading operator and developer of sustainable energy systems, announced today that the company has received multiple award recognitions at the International District Energy Association’s (IDEA) 101st Annual Conference and Trade Show in Indianapolis, IN. Veolia Energy placed in the top spots in two categories: “Most Total Buildings Committed” and “Most Total Square Footage Committed” in North America.

“These awards represent a growing recognition of the value of district energy in general, and they also validate the superior value of our sustainable solutions specifically,” said Stewart A. Wood, President and CEO of Veolia Energy North America. “Customers across the United States are realizing the economic and environmental benefits of utilizing district energy networks instead of operating their own mechanical rooms and thermal energy equipment, and having to manage all of the accompanying risks themselves.”

Most Total Buildings Committed/North America
Gold: Veolia Energy North America-Boston System (19)
Bronze: Veolia Energy North America-Cambridge System (7)
Most Total Square Footage Committed/North America
