OMAHA, Nebraska – Tenaska, one of the leading independent energy companies in the United States, has been selected as a 2021 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies and the achievements of their management teams.
The 2021 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people and fostering a dynamic, resilient culture, as well as strong financials, all while facing the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite major challenges and immense pressure, they continued to lead with purpose and the vision to make significant contributions to their industries, communities, workforces and the economy.
“Tenaska’s corporate culture is rooted in a strong work ethic with the highest standards of excellence; a commitment to pursue value for customers and partners; and relationships built on trust and fair dealing,” said CEO and Vice Chairman Jerry Crouse. “This designation recognizes the values that have been both foundational to our growth and a great source of pride.”
Tenaska has developed, managed and/or operated approximately 22 gigawatts of natural gas-fueled and renewables generation to date. Affiliates Tenaska Marketing Ventures and Tenaska Power Services Co. are recognized leaders in energy marketing.
Applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture and financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 30 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
