Awards

The European Sustainable Energy Awards recognise outstanding individuals and projects for their innovation and efforts in energy efficiency and renewables.

Prizes will be awarded in three categories:

• Innovation
• Local Energy Action
• Woman in Energy.

Winners are announced during the EUSEW Awards Ceremony in June 2023. 

Anyone in the EU can submit a recent project – from a local initiative to an industry-wide programme – or a profile of a person that is helping the citizens, industry and public sector work towards achieving the EU Green Deal objectives. Read the guidelines to check your eligibility for the different categories before applying or nominating a candidate. 

The Awards competition highlights new ways to shape Europe’s energy future and culminates with the Awards Ceremony at the Policy Conference.

If you are contributing to clean, secure and efficient energy, then, the European Sustainable Energy Week is for you. In the context of the REPowerEU plan to accelerate the clean energy transition and increase Europe’s energy independence, the annual event is an opportunity to meet stakeholders promoting energy efficiency and renewable energies, learn about successful policies, and inspire innovation towards meeting the EU’s energy and climate goals.

Along with being considered best-in-class for their contribution to a sustainable energy future, winners and finalists receive added visibility for their work. A professional film crew visits the finalists to create a promotional video of their work, and their profiles are promoted on the EUSEW communication channels, as well as being included in a press package sent to pan-EU and local media outlets.
