Energy Innovation award

Decarbonising the UK’s energy sector and other industries is essential to our shared zero carbon future. The Ashden Award for Energy Innovation will boost organisations ready to create major impact with a trailblazing technology, service or business model.  

The winning organisation’s energy innovation could be reducing emissions from manufacturing, lowering the carbon impact of heating our homes, or speeding the rollout of smart energy systems. 

The winner of our energy innovation award will need to demonstrate that their solution has the potential to scale up and deliver big carbon savings. And it should be creating a more equal low carbon future – by creating opportunities and benefits for marginalised groups.

Meet past Energy Innovation winners

Previous Energy Innovation award winners provide excellent examples of replicable models reducing emissions and delivering big carbon savings:

2022 Energy Innovation Award winner

This organisation recirculates wind turbine components through remanufacture and refurbishment so they can be reused. This pioneering work has already prevented more than 200 tonnes of scrap heading to landfill

2020 Energy Innovation Award winner

An organisation providing market-leading hardware and data analytics platforms for heat networks, gas boilers and heat pumps.

2019 Energy Innovation Award winner

This organisation helps keep the grid stable as the share of renewable energy increases – and could pave the way for an electricity grid based entirely on sustainable energy.
