SEAI Energy Awards

The SEAI Energy Awards recognise and reward excellence in all aspects of energy efficiency and renewable energy.

Applications are now open and will remain open until June 19th 2020.

The 2020 SEAI Energy Awards are now open for applications! The eight categories are open to individuals, groups or organisations, public and private sector, from either the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland. Entries can include any combination of electricity, heat or transport initiatives.

Why enter the SEAI Awards?

Awards entrants can use the event to showcase their sustainable energy achievements. As a result they can win recognition for their ambitious smart energy solutions and practices.

Award categories

The eight categories for 2020 cover a wide range of areas and activities. They recognise the diverse areas where energy innovation is being undertaken in Ireland. From large business to communities, they reflect SEAI’s key focus areas.

Shortlisting and judging process

The awards are assessed by a distinguished, independent panel of expert judges. Winning entries go well beyond the norms of sustainable energy best practice. They demonstrate high levels of innovation and strong potential for replication. They also have achieved significant energy demand reduction or clean energy deployment.

An expert shortlisting panel will select finalists in each category based on the completed entry forms. All applicants will be notified of the shortlisting outcome. An expert stakeholder judging panel will choose outright winners from these shortlists. This process may include requests for further information by the judging panel.

The organisers reserve the right to not confer an award in a particular category where there is an insufficient number of, or low quality, entries in that category.

Awards presentation

Winners are announced and presented with their award in October. Further details closer to the time.
