It's time to send applications to Ashden Awards for new year selection of the best sustainable energy projects worldwide

When it comes to developing cleaner, sustainable energy solutions, some of the most ingenious and practical ideas are coming out of rural communities in the developing world.

Every year, small enterprises in Africa, Asia and Latin America apply for Ashden Awards and win the chance to bring their sustainable energy solutions into the international arena.

Ashden Awards looks for schemes that are technically rigorous, have an element of innovation and — most importantly — make a genuine difference to local peoples’ lives, both socially and economically.
