2018 Fossil Best Practices Awards

The Fossil Best Practices Awards were established by the EUCG Fossil Generation Committee as part of its mission to share best demonstrated practices that continuously improve safety, environmental responsibility, reliability, and economics in coal, oil, and gas fleet generation.

Thank you to everyone for their Best Practice submissions. All submissions were evaluated by a team comprised of members of the Fossil Steering Committee. The winners of the 2018 Fossil Best Practices Awards were recognized at the EUCG 2018 Fall Workshop in Denver, Colorado. Presentations from the award-winning utilities are available in the Fossil Member section of the EUCG website.
