The shortlist of nominees for the 2017 British Renewable Energy Awards has been announced. The Awards, organised by the REA, are the UK’s most prestigious for the renewable energy and clean technology sector, and are hosted annually at the Savoy Hotel in London.
The categories include Communications Agency, Energy Storage, Financial Leadership, Community Group, and the prestigious Judges’ Award which in 2016 was given to Christina Figueres, the former Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC.
Commenting on the Awards, Dr. Nina Skorupska CBE, Chief Executive at the Renewable Energy Association said:
“The strength and diversity of this year’s candidates in the face of what was a tumultuous and uncertain market in 2016 highlights the innovation, resilience, and adaptability of the renewable energy and clean tech sectors in Britain.
“2017’s nominees range from battery storage start-ups to British companies deploying decentralised systems in Kenya, from spectacular solar farms to innovative low-carbon transport systems. The shortlist now goes to a prestigious panel of judges for further review.
“Congratulations to all the shortlisted nominees.” Notes to editors
