The Euromoney and Ernst & Young Global Renewable Energy Awards were established to recognize the projects, companies, and individuals who have made significant contributions to the global renewable energy sector. This will be the 5th anniversary of the Awards and the ceremony will take place at Madame Tussauds, one of London’s favorite tourist attractions, with a full visit to the galleries included. 

The Awards, dubbed the ‘Green Oscars’, take place every year alongside the Renewable Energy Finance Forum (REFF) London and are the perfect platform to celebrate the achievements in the private sector that drive continued growth in the renewable energy industry.
