Energy Management
The Energy Excellence Award recognizes organizations demonstrating exceptional leadership in energy efficiency, emissions reduction, and sustainable innovation. Presented annually, the award highlights companies that set a new benchmark for both environmental and economic performance. Past recipients include Honda of Canada Manufacturing and Durez Canada, whose leadership continues to influence best practices across their industries.
Johnson Electric (Americas) has been recognized for the remarkable progress achieved across its North and South American operations through disciplined, data-driven energy management.
Over more than two decades of collaboration with 360 Energy, including recent expansion across U.S. and South American facilities, Johnson Electric has demonstrated a depth of organizational commitment that distinguishes true industry leadership. Multiple sites and departments are actively engaged, with systematic documentation of activities, broad employee participation, and consistent delivery of measurable results.
Recent achievements include doubling renewable energy usage to 42%, exceeding carbon reduction targets, and advancing energy-efficient manufacturing practices across Canada, the United States, and South America. In a period of global energy transition, Johnson Electric continues to show how sustainability, operational efficiency, and financial performance can move forward together.
Proplant Propagation has been awarded the 2025 Energy Excellence Award for its proactive, disciplined approach to energy management and operational efficiency within Ontario’s greenhouse sector.
Proplant’s team demonstrates an exceptional level of engagement with its energy data, monitoring performance daily and even hourly, and using real-time price signals to guide operational decisions without compromising plant health or production outcomes. This approach has helped protect profitability in a volatile energy market.
Strategic investments are already delivering results. LED lighting upgrades and careful light-level management have reduced electricity consumption by nearly 5% year-over-year, while rigorous invoice review and monthly budget checks ensure accuracy and financial control as energy costs rise.
Equally important is the company’s culture of shared accountability. Growers, finance teams, and leadership regularly review energy KPIs, stay informed on market conditions, and act early to address issues. Proplant’s active engagement with utilities and incentive programs further supports cost-effective growth and long-term resilience.
Johnson Electric and Proplant Propagation exemplify what energy leadership looks like today: informed decision-making, disciplined execution, and measurable impact. Their achievements demonstrate how organizations across sectors are turning energy strategy into a durable competitive advantage.
We extend our congratulations to both teams and look forward to sharing more about their work in the coming weeks.
