WASHINGTON, D.C. – Tomorrow, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will recognize nine accomplished women for their achievements and leadership in clean energy as part of the U.S Clean Energy Education & Empowerment (C3E) Initiative.

The winners of the 2019 U.S. C3E awards, which will take place at the Eighth Annual U.S. C3E Women in Clean Energy Symposium, represent a diverse range of women leading in clean energy. The U.S. C3E Initiative is led by DOE in collaboration with the Texas A&M Energy Institute, MIT Energy Initiative, and Stanford Energy. DOE has led this initiative since 2012 with the goal of closing the gender gap and increasing the participation, leadership, and success of women in clean energy fields.

“Women have a critical leading role to play in developing clean energy technology for a prosperous future,” said Secretary of Energy Rick Perry. “Congratulations to the winners of the 2019 U.S. C3E awards for the recognition of your dedication and rising leadership in this sector. May your work pave the way for more women to pursue careers in clean energy innovation.”

“It is an honor to recognize these accomplished women for their gifts of innovation to the United States,” said Deputy Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette. “There is nothing we cannot accomplish when we have great minds like these women working on our toughest energy and scientific challenges.”

The 2019 award winners are:
