Twelve projects have been shortlisted for the four awards, which recognise the year’s most successful innovations in renewables or energy efficiency.
The EU Sustainable Energy Awards, highlighting cutting-edge innovation for the transition to clean, secure and efficient energy, are a major feature of the annual EUSEW policy conference.
Three finalists have been selected for each of the four jury-assessed categories – Consumers, Public Sector, Businesses and, this year, Energy Islands. They will all also be competing for the Citizen's Prize, to be chosen by a public online vote.
This year’s EU Sustainable Energy Award finalists are:
- Consumers category – Codema (Ireland); Guide Topten (France); Municipality of Santorso (Italy)
- Public Sector category – Bucharest Sector 1 (Romania); Diputació de Girona (Spain); Göteborg Energi AB (Sweden)
- Businesses category – Eandis (Belgium); Sonae Sierra (Portugal); Trebišovská energetická s.r.o. (Slovakia)
- Energy Islands category – Bornholms Energi & Forsyning (Denmark); Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (Greece); European Small Islands Federation (Finland).
The winners will be announced at a prestigious awards ceremony on day one of the 2017 EUSEW policy conference (20-22 June) in Brussels.
