The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (KeTSA) announced the final call for submissions to participate in the National Energy Award (NEA) 2022, the country’s premier accolade for sustainable energy game-changers.
It said that the inaugural NEA in 2018, the Awards have recognised close to 100 organisations at the forefront of growing the nation’s sustainable energy sector.
This year’s NEA will see a total of 20 awards on offer across 3 categories open to eligible Malaysian residences, companies, organisations including institutions of higher learning, which have undertaken renewable energy, energy efficiency, energy management, and energy performance contracting projects or initiatives, with two new awards for residential green buildings and zero energy buildings on offer.
A dedicated category has also been created to recognise the efforts of a financial institution in sustainable energy financing.
The organisation of NEA 2022 continues to provide an important avenue to support the Government’s strategic efforts to further increase public awareness and industry participation in sustainable energy initiatives and is aligned with the RMK 12’s strategic focus on “Advancing Green Growth”.
Highlighting the significance and relevance of the NEA, the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, YB Datuk Seri Takiyuddin Hassan said, “The impact of climate change has reached unprecedented levels. Today, more than ever we need sustainable energy technologies and solutions that can mitigate climate uncertainties and reduce the impacts to the environment. KeTSA believes that our local efforts and talents need to be recognised and rewarded to drive greater adoption of sustainable energy solutions in the country.”
