Organization recognized for efforts promoting Pittsburgh’s hosting of the Global Clean Energy Action Forum
Duquesne Light Holdings Inc.

Hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy and Carnegie Mellon University, it was the first time the event took place in the U.S. The three-day program featured delegates, leaders and experts from around the world, where they participated in roundtables, technology demonstrations and other activities.
DLC received several more awards during the PRSA ceremony, including:
