Wind Energy Ireland works with communities, members and stakeholders in championing the transition to a zero-carbon energy system with the development and operation of wind energy at its heart. The industry we represent delivers investment, jobs and societal benefits whilst reducing carbon emissions and leading the fight against climate change.

The Industry Awards will recognise and celebrate the most original and innovative individuals and companies demonstrating excellence in their fields and the Irish wind energy sector.

Showcasing the very best in wind, we want to honour the people, organisations and communities going above and beyond to shape the industry's future.
