Launched in 2019, the award showcases inspiring examples of innovative, local energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions from across the region that benefit both citizens and business alike.
The award is part of the EU Sustainable Energy Week 2020 (EUSEW) and has been extended to the six Eastern partner countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine for the second time this year.
