The shortlist for the 2019 Scottish Green Energy Awards sees Scotland's largest offshore wind farm, projects using hydrogen to store power and four green energy champions all in the running.

The annual awards will see 44 individuals, companies and projects vie to scoop prizes in 12 prestigious categories at a 1,200-guest ceremony on 05 December in Edinburgh.

The shortlist includes household names, charities, community groups and "innovation in spades", according to Claire Mack, Chief Executive of Scottish Renewables, which runs the awards.

She said: "It's impossible not to be bowled over by the quality of applications we received for the awards this year.

"Our judges, as ever, struggled to pick even the shortlist, let alone the winners. The contenders show passion, commitment and innovation in spades, and should be proud to have made it this far. We're looking forward to a great night in Edinburgh on 05 December as we celebrate our industry's contribution to Scotland's economy and environment."

The full shortlist – available below – includes projects, people and organisations from Dundee, Glasgow, Dumfriesshire, Caithness and Orkney, among many other Scottish regions.

The Scottish Green Energy Awards is headline-sponsored by EDF Renewables.

CEO Matthieu Hue said: "The shortlist for the Scottish Green Energy Awards clearly shows the talent that exists within Scotland's renewables industry.

"I'm always encouraged by the enthusiastic and passionate people we have in this country who are making a very worthwhile contribution to our low carbon future.
