The inaugural Energy Storage Awards are rapidly approaching, and the shortlist of frontrunners has been picked out by our panel of esteemed judges.

The Energy Storage Awards 2023 are an opportunity to celebrate and take stock of the hard work, innovations, breakthroughs and achievements of the European industry. The ceremony will take place in London, UK, on 28 September 2023 at the prestigious Park Plaza London Riverbank.

As we see storage becoming a vital piece of the energy system toolkit all around the world, it’s the perfect way to showcase the shining examples of what a maturing market can achieve.

We launched the Awards at this year’s Energy Storage Summit EU back in February. We introduced to your our hand-picked judging panel a few weeks ago, which you can read about here, but now is the time for the exciting announcement of the nominations shortlisted from the many great submissions received.
