The smarter E AWARD – The Prestigious Industry Award for Energy and Mobility Innovations

As we move towards a renewable 24/7 energy supply, the market for renewable energies is growing fast, and the electricity, heat and transport sectors are continuing to grow together.

But it’s not just the industry sectors that are growing together: From 2024, The smarter E AWARD will be presented in five categories, Outstanding Projects, Photovoltaics, Energy Storage, E-Mobility and Smart Integrated Energy. The new concept unites the previous The smarter E AWARD, Intersolar AWARD, ees AWARD, Power2Drive AWARD and EM-Power AWARD to honor companies whose innovative concepts and technologies make an important contribution to a renewable 24/7 energy supply.

The smarter E AWARD – Category: Outstanding Projects

The cross-sector development of the industry led to the creation of The smarter E AWARD in the category Outstanding Projects in 2018. This innovation prize is awarded to pioneers who are always thinking a step ahead and are already shaping the energy supply of the future. Outstanding Projects recognizes realized projects undertaken in the areas of solar, storage, energy management and clean transportation.
