Eighth annual event celebrating success in the green energy and cleantech industries releases final list of nominees
The final shortlist has been released for the New Energy & Cleantech Awards 2015, the foremost event recognising excellence in the green energy and cleantech industries.
Some 68 nominees across ten categories will compete for such gongs as Innovator of the Year, Retailer of the Year and Advisory Firm of the Year, to present a complete picture of the top achievers in the sector.
Ben Lobel, of the New Energy & Cleantech Awards said: ‘The number of nominations we have received for the 2015 event has far surpassed that of previous years.
