RESTON, Va., March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF
(NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and technology services
provider, was recently awarded a new three-year, $25 million contract by Entergy Arkansas to
implement the utility's energy efficiency and demand response
program portfolios, as required by the Arkansas Public Service

savings achieved.
