Categories
- Best Community Project Award
- This award celebrates the outstanding development of a renewable energy project – electricity or heat – which has been led by a community group or community organisation.
- Best Engagement Award
- Sponsored by SmartestEnergy
- This award recognises exemplary community, public or other stakeholder engagement before, during or after the development of a renewable energy project. Judges are looking for ideas and implementation which go above and beyond, communicating the benefits of renewable energy and raising the reputation of the sector.
- Best Innovation Award
- Sponsored by Red Rock Power Limited
- The Best Innovation Award category is always one of the most hotly-contested of The Scottish Green Energy Awards, shining a light on the benefits that innovation brings to their industry. This award recognises an outstanding example of the development or implementation of an innovative product, design, solution or model which supports the development of renewable energy in Scotland, for example by enhancing value or reducing cost.
- Carbon Reduction Award
- Sponsored by Statkraft
- Previous winners of this award have used renewables to cut their carbon footprint while delivering wider benefits within organisations, across communities and further afield. This year’s Carbon Reduction Award will go to a non-energy business, charity or public body which is able to demonstrate its commitment to cutting CO2 through the outstanding deployment of green energy technology.
- Champion of Renewables Award
- Sponsored by Fred. Olsen Renewables
- Their industry champions are truly unique and have always played an important role in creating the buzz renewables are renowned for. In a champion they are looking for an individual, team, organisation or campaign which has really shown how much the industry has to offer and helped us to tell their story in a new and different way.
- Contribution to Skills Award
- Sponsored by SSE Renewables
- With almost 13,000 students studying renewable energy-related courses in Scotland at the last count, the future is bright for their industry. This award celebrates outstanding contributions made by individuals, groups or organisations to promote and uphold the highest quality standards in education, training and skills development for today’s or tomorrow’s workforce.
- Outstanding Contribution Award
- Sponsored by Highlands and Islands Enterprise
- People are key to shaping and growing their industry, so recognising when an individual has made a clear contribution to success is hugely important.
- Previous winners of this award have demonstrated truly outstanding achievements and, through their enthusiasm, commitment and actions, have helped to grow and champion Scotland’s renewable energy sector.
- Outstanding Project Award
- Sponsored by RWE Renewables
- Reducing carbon is their key reason for being, but renewables offers so much more to people, communities and the low-carbon energy system of the future. We’re helping to solve the next big challenges of their time. If your project has helped us take big steps forward and is an exemplar that showcases Scotland’s leadership role in renewable energy then it may well be the next winner of the Outstanding Project Award at SGEA.
- Outstanding Service Award
- Sponsored by Green Investment Group
- As Scotland’s renewable energy capacity has grown, so too has the knowledge contained in companies which support its development. Projects are nothing without talented, committed development partners, and this award seeks to celebrate outstanding service of any kind within the renewables supply chain. Entry is open to professional services firms, technical experts, hardware suppliers or engineers, to name just a few, who provide services which achieve outstanding results.
