The National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA) has named 18 winning projects from across the United States as winners of the prestigious NECA 2024 Project Excellence Awards. This year saw a record-breaking number of PEA applications with well over 121 impressive project submissions.
The Project Excellence Awards (PEA), created by the National Electrical Contractors Association, recognize electrical contractors who have performed industry-leading, exceptional work during the previous calendar year. Commitment, professionalism, and ingenuity are cornerstones of the value NECA contractors provide their customers, and PEA platforms these qualities on a national scale.
