Scottish Green Energy Awards Shortlist Announced

Contractors, engineers and renewable energy specialists are among those named in the 2025 shortlist for the Scottish Green Energy Awards, announced on 10 October.

Organised by Scottish Renewables, the event is the UK's largest celebration of renewable and low-carbon construction and will bring together more than 1,650 industry representatives in Edinburgh on 4 December. The awards recognise the companies and individuals driving forward Scotland’s transition to clean energy through infrastructure, engineering and project delivery.

This year's shortlist highlights a broad range of work, from wind and solar installations to low-carbon heating systems and community energy hubs. Notable entries include BW Ideol, recognised for its Damping Pool floating foundation technology; Attix CIC, for its 2.5MW community-owned Kilbirnie Wind Turbine; and Renewable Parts’ collaboration with the University of Strathclyde's Advanced Materials Research Laboratory, which focuses on reusing high-value turbine components through circular economy principles.

Sponsored by EDF Power Solutions UK and Ireland, the Scottish Green Energy Awards feature more than 50 shortlisted projects, companies and individuals across 14 categories. Categories cover community energy, innovation, carbon reduction, sustainable development and outstanding construction delivery.

Claire Mack OBE, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, said: "I have been thoroughly impressed by the exceptional calibre of nominations submitted for this year's awards. The level of expertise, innovation and commitment demonstrated across the board has been truly outstanding.

"Naturally, this makes the judging process particularly challenging and selecting a shortlist from such a strong field required careful deliberation, but we are confident that those chosen represent the very highest standards in our industry, demonstrating excellence, dedication and the kind of innovation we need to drive our industry forward.

"I very much look forward to joining you in Edinburgh, on December 4, as we come together to recognise the significant contributions our industry continues to make both to the economy and to the environment. It promises to be an evening of well-deserved celebration."

Matthieu Hue, Chief Executive of EDF power solutions UK and Ireland, added: "The Scottish Green Energy Awards continues to be one of the most anticipated events on the renewable energy industry's calendar. EDF power solutions UK and Ireland is once again proud to be headline sponsor of the event.

"Many congratulations to everyone who has been shortlisted in the various award categories. We look forward to celebrating the many achievements and milestones from over the past 12 months at the ceremony in Edinburgh, in December."
