Due to popular demand, the deadline for entries to Utility Week’s prestigious awards has been extended to Friday 21 September.

With less than two weeks to go, utilities and their supply chain partners are encouraged to share their achievements over the past year in delivering for net zero, customers and the energy and water networks of the future. The entries will then go to our panel of expert judges who will shortlist the companies and projects going above and beyond the already high expectations on the sector.

Entries are welcomed across 16 categories, including the highly-coveted Utility of the Year, with the winners set to be revealed at London’s Grosvenor House on 5 December.

New categories include a Rising Star award, ESG Initiative of the Year and Built Environment Partner. This year sees two net zero categories, reflecting the key role of decarbonisation across all aspects of utilities’ business models, and a dedicated focus on skills and diversity.

The entry process has also undergone a complete refresh, with a simplified entry process, more exposure than ever and the chance to access winners’ community benefits.
