Brought to you by the team behind the long-established and hugely popular edie Awards, the Energy & Tech Awards celebrate the organisations, projects and individuals driving progress across the UK’s energy transition, recognising innovation and leadership in clean energy, energy efficiency and decarbonisation.

Formerly known as the Net-Zero Awards, the event enters a new chapter in 2026 as the edie Energy & Tech Awards, reflecting the growing importance of energy and technology in accelerating business sustainability and the transition to net zero.

The Awards bring together businesses, technology providers and energy professionals to showcase the solutions helping to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable, secure and resilient energy system.

Past winners of edie’s Net-Zero Awards include the Co-op, Interface, Balfour Beatty, Liverpool FC, OVO Energy, Nottingham Trent University, Lime, Oxfordshire County Council, Metis, Nuada and Spacehive.

The winners of edie’s first Energy & Tech Awards were announced on Friday 16 October at a ceremony in central London, which convened hundreds of sustainability and energy leaders for an afternoon of celebration and networking.

Entries have been judged by an esteemed panel of sustainability and decarbonisation experts, hand-picked for their specialist knowledge and experience across all aspects of net-zero carbon business planning and implementation. Click here to view the judging panel.
