The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) is calling on communities, businesses, organisations, and individuals that are championing sustainable energy to enter the SEAI Energy Awards 2021.
Now in their eighteenth year, the SEAI Energy Awards reward those individuals and organisations who “really push the boundaries in energy efficiency best practice, innovative renewables, awareness raising and inspiring others”.
The SEAI launched the awards today at the SEAI Energy Show.
Speaking at the launch, SEAI business and public sector head Fergus Sharkey said: “More than ever, it is imperative that Ireland use less energy, move away from fossil fuels, and take advantage of innovative energy solutions to address the climate crisis.
“The good news is there are already communities, businesses, individuals, and organisations blazing a trail for the rest of us to follow.
“The SEAI Energy Awards celebrate these champions and leaders. We showcase their achievements, hopefully inspiring others to act.
“If you believe that you, your community, or your organisation is among these leaders I strongly encourage you to enter the SEAI Energy Awards 2021 so we can celebrate your achievements.”
Entries can include any combination of electricity, heat, or transport energy use.
The winner of the Research and Innovation category will receive a bursary of up to €10,000.
The SEAI is also seeking entries to the Emerging Sustainable Energy Champion category. This category recognises the extraordinary work of young people around Ireland to promote sustainable energy, a key pillar of climate action.
