The Association for Decentralised Energy's annual awards showcase innovation, best practice and achievements across heat, power, flexibility and efficiency. The Awards provide an opportunity for organisations and professionals from across the sector to celebrate success and collective attainment.

We are looking for good news stories to help celebrate and promote our industry’s achievements. We want to hear how your project made a difference, about the journey you took people on and the impact you’ve made.  We’re particularly interested in how you’ve excelled at customer service, contributed to a just energy transition to net zero and see the energy system as a whole. The judging panel will award bonus points for projects that sit across both heat networks and demand.

Award Categories

The award categories are:

1. Project: ADE Heat Networks
2. Project: ADE Demand
3. Organisation: Leadership in Diversity
4. Individual: Rising Star

Any scale of project can enter the project categories. Each project can only be entered into one category and the judges may move entries into different categories if they feel it is a better fit.

You can read more about the Award Categories and what the judges will be looking for in our guidance document.

Please also ready the ADE Awards Rules document which sets out how to make sure your awards entry is compliant.

The Awards entries are now closed.
