The Ashden Awards 2018 – be recognized as a sustainable energy leader

Established in 2001, the Ashden Awards are globally recognized as a mark of excellence in the field of green energy. 

Call for entries for the 2018 Ashden Awards is now open.

Are you part of a scheme – or know of one – that’s breaking new ground in renewable energy generation, reducing energy demand, increasing access to energy, or encouraging more sustainable forms of transport? If so, Ashden would love to hear from you.

Sustainable energy can have a transformative impact on individual lives and worldwide. As well as being essential to tackling climate change, it also improves health and well-being, increases education opportunities and boosts local economies.

The Ashden Awards scheme uncovers the best in sustainable energy and showcases their potential to an influential audience at a high-profile ceremony. The organization then  continues to work with the winners after they have won to help them scale up work and share learning with others.

By giving winners an established platform, the Awards offer policy makers, the media, educators, investors and academics a unique resource of proven examples of sustainable energy in action.
