Scottish Renewables chief executive Claire Mack said the shortlist “is always a source of pride for the industry – and never more so than in this extraordinary year”.
She added: “Time and again we’re amazed by the ingenuity and persistence shown by companies in our sector.
“This year has thrown up challenges no-one could have predicted, but some of the shortlisted projects show just how industry has adapted, creating new ways of working, deploying new generation and maintaining the infrastructure which now provides the equivalent of 90% of the electricity we use in Scotland.
“Others demonstrate the huge talents which lie out of sight in renewables: the supply chain of companies, in the broadest sense of the word, which enable projects to go ahead, and in turn create economic benefit across Scotland.”
