Rep. Brennan Honored with NOPEC Energy Champion Award for Pro-Consumer Leadership

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Sean Patrick Brennan (D-Parma) today announced that he has been selected as an inaugural recipient of the NOPEC Energy Champion Award in recognition of his leadership in passing landmark pro-consumer and pro-competition energy reforms in House Bill 15 and Senate Bill 2 earlier this year.

“I have always believed that government should be on the side of the people, not powerful special interests,” said Rep. Brennan. “That’s why I’ve worked so hard on energy reform—to increase transparency, strengthen competition, and put more money back into the pockets of hardworking Ohioans. I am honored to receive this award from NOPEC, and I will continue to fight every day for policies that protect consumers and ensure fairness in our energy markets.”

In announcing the award, NOPEC leaders commended Rep. Brennan and his colleagues for enacting policies that maximize consumer benefits while ensuring system reliability, maintaining competition, and improving transparency.

The award will be presented to Rep. Brennan in person at the Statehouse later this year.

NOPEC, the largest governmental energy aggregator in Ohio, provides electricity and natural gas to nearly 250 communities across 20 counties, serving more than 930,000 residential and small business customers.
