Location: Madame Tussauds, London

Dates:  15 September 2008 -

The Euromoney and Ernst & Young Global Renewable Energy Awards were established to recognise the projects, companies and individuals who have made a significant contribution to the global renewable energy sector. This will be the 5th anniversary of the Awards and the ceremony will take place at Madame Tussauds, one of London’s favourite tourist attractions, with full visit to the galleries included.

The awards programme, dubbed the ‘Green Oscars’, takes place every year alongside the Renewable Energy Finance Forum (REFF) London and is the perfect platform to celebrate the achievements in the private sector that drive continued growth in the renewable energy industry. The gala dinner and awards ceremony is free to REFF London 2008 conference participants.

“Year on year the quality of finalists and winners is consistently high and the 2007 winners prove that the industry is growing from strength to strength”.
