The Action Renewables Association Awards in association with Tughans and Travelwise NI are still accepting nominations.  The deadline for nominations is on 25 January.

Now in their fourth year, the awards recognise excellence and reward innovation by local companies who are leading the way with renewable energy technologies and sustainability and awareness raising initiatives. The awards are open to all companies throughout Northern Ireland who are showing their commitment to the development and growth of the ‘green’ industry locally.

The awards will take place in the new Titanic Belfast attraction on Tuesday 20th March, 2012, one of a series of familiarisation events taking place ahead of the official opening on 31st March, 2012. This has been agreed due to the environmental and sustainable nature of the awards which compliments the ethos of the new building. As part of the event guests will be given a personalised guided tour of the building’s green credentials, as well as the opportunity to meet and speak to the designer of the building Angus Waddington of Todd Architects and enjoy a 4 course lunch.

Nine prestigious awards are up for grabs:

Best Energy Saving SME

Most Innovative Construction Project

Most Innovative Renewables Installation

Most Sustainable Travel Plan

Renewable Energy Awareness Award – Best School

Best Training Provider

Best Community Project

Best Planner: Renewable Energy Project

Outstanding award for work in the renewable energy sector
