The Ernst & Young Global Renewable Energy Awards 2009
Nominations for the Global Renewable Energy Awards are reflecting the structural changes to clean energy markets.
The finalists and winners, to be announced on Monday, 21st September, at a dinner gala hosted by Euromoney and Ernst & Young at London’s Science Museum, reflect the progress of the industry in the turbulent economic climate over the last year.
Despite the tightened access to debt, some of the largest deals of the year are reflected in the nominations, including the 482.5m USD Belgian Belwind project, the 253m USD Kavarna wind farm, and the 998m USD Martel II Wind Farm Portfolio.
Technology developments are well embodied in the awards categories, with the Equity Deal in technology category featuring nominations for two major players, Chinese Yingli solar and the Polish Technology Platform for Biofuels. These nominations show the spread of technologies into new rising markets.
This year the awards also introduce new categories, to reflect the broadening framework of clean energy.
The Climate Change Investment Program of the Year category has received nominations with a clear dedication to sustainable energy. With Honda, Yahoo and French cement producer Lafarge amongst the nominees, it is clear that industry response is expanding far beyond the energy sector.
The new Leadership Award promises to be particularly exciting. Different to the other categories, the winner will be determined by the audience at the awards ceremony at the at the London science Museum.
The exclusive evening brings together over 300 Finance, Policy and Industry leaders and will be open to delegates of REFF-London.
