Energy Genius of the Year 2022
Has your workplace or business partner committed an act of energy efficiency, which is not just clever but down right genius?
We are not looking only for the biggest and most spectacular measures; in this competition, even smaller deeds can mean great things. Effectiveness, distinctiveness and courage are assets. Nominate your organisation or one that you know for the competition by 18 October 2022.
The Energy Authority, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment and the state’s Sustainable Development Company Motiva award the most laudable acts of energy efficiency with the Energy Genius recognition.
What makes a measure energy genius?
Effective and productive
An effective energy efficiency measure is tangible and significant for the actor. The measure may also have wider regional and societal significance. A productive measure has been successfully executed and offers diverse benefits.
Imaginative and inspiring
Imaginative energy efficiency measures stand out. The most inspiring measures emanate the desire to improve operations and to create and try new ways of doing things. Courageous and fresh implementations are often a sign of ingenuity.
