The Net-Zero Energy Transition Awards, in their second year, brought more than 260 people from across Scotland’s renewable energy supply chain to Aberdeen where eight winners were handed awards for their work in delivering the energy transition.
This year’s winners also included ORE Catapult’s Lewis Stevenson named as Energy Transition Champion, Renewable Parts picked up the sustainable supplier award, while Kent received the people and culture gong.
Claire Mack, chief executive of Scottish Renewables, said: “What an honour it has been to celebrate Scotland’s diverse supply chain at Scottish Renewables’ Net-Zero Energy Transition Awards.
“With a wealth of green energy projects already in development and with many more to come it is vital that we have a supplier network ready to help deliver the energy we need to power our future with a cleaner, resilient, cheaper and more secure energy system.
“As Scotland moves towards this net-zero future we know we will need bold thinking and pioneering ideas to drive the energy transition so it is really exciting to see some of the people behind these exciting technological, cultural and innovative advances on the shortlist.
“Tonight’s awards have been a brilliant opportunity for us to recognise the passion, dedication and hard work of the people and companies who are playing a major role in the energy transition and driving real change in Scotland.
“Congratulations to everyone shortlisted this year, and of course to the winners.”
