DTE Energy and the Engineering Society of Detroit are looking for a few good energy conservation ideas through its new E Challenge contest.
The $250,000 contest is looking for a commercially available energy saving product, material, system, structure, process or methodology. The bottom line is it must show energy savings and save electrical or natural gas energy.
"Basically, we're looking for energy saving opportunities," says Waldemar Czarnik, principal Energy Manager for
DTE Energy. "We are looking for innovative ideas that will save our customers money."
Entries are due by June 29. Screenings of the contestants will take place in mid August and the awards made in November. For information, contact Tim Walker at
