“Additionally, it can instil confidence in their initiatives and strategies, encouraging others in the industry to strive for excellence and innovation,” he added.

Innovation is a key judging criteria for this award, and Mr Ford will be keeping an eye out for this in all entries.

“Projects that incorporate innovative strategies not only meet existing demands but also set the stage for future progress,” he said.

“By emphasising innovation, we encourage entrants to think outside the box and challenge conventional practices, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable energy landscape.”

For Mr Ford, a successful project is “one that achieves specific objectives while positively impacting the environment and local communities”.

“It should produce measurable results, such as decreased emissions or enhanced energy efficiency,” he added.
