Nominations for the Solar Power Portal Awards 2017 are now open, and the finance innovation award returns once again.
A firm favourite of the awards and one of the most fiercely competitive, the finance innovation category is for financial products launched for the benefit or growth of the clean energy sector on or after 1 June 2016.
Nominations should include details of the product on offer, its uptake with consumers and how the product has been used to promote the clean energy industry. If the product has been used to finance the development of a particular renewables project, details of it should also be included.
Last year’s winner
Of the four shortlisted entries in last year’s category, it was Mongoose Energy which emerged victorious for its work in stimulating community energy projects across the country, a scheme which last year’s judging panel said displayed “real innovation” in its approach.
This year nominations will remain open until midnight 31 May 2017 before a three-week judging process takes place.
