BMW Manufacturing receives Duke Energy Power Partner Award

For its individual efforts in energy efficiency, sustainability and business growth, BMW Manufacturing was a recipient of the 2012 Duke Energy Power Partner Award.

In an official ceremony, officials from Duke Energy presented Josef Kerscher, President of BMW Manufacturing,
with the award.

"BMW and Duke Energy have been strategic partners since 1992, when the BMW Group announced their intention to build the company's first plant outside of Germany," said Kerscher. "Duke Energy's ability to repeatedly execute the plant's energy needs throughout 5 major expansions is to be commended."

"We deeply respect BMW's commitment to sustainability and their innovative approach to responsible energy use," said Gayle Lanier, Duke Energy Senior Vice-President and Chief Customer Officer. "Their collaboration to identify and implement energy-saving changes has improved their sustainability and operational success, while also improving the very community where their employees live and work. The energy they are saving is powering other homes and businesses in the community, which helps delay the need for new power plants and supports our goal of delivering increasingly clean energy for our customers."
