European Solar Prize 2018 awarded in the EUROSOLAR-hometown of Bonn
Within the framework of the 30th anniversary of EUROSOLAR and the associated annual partnership with the city of Bonn, this yera's edition of the European Solar Prize took place at the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany. Eight ground-breaking projects for the energy transition from six different nations have been honored in eight categrories.
For EUROSOLAR President and Chairman of the Jury, Prof. Peter Droege, the award-winning projects are examples of a functioning energy system transformation in a wide variety of application areas. "The consequences of climate change are now more visible than ever and the urgency to combat it is at its peak. Therefore I am glad that today we were able to honour people who are working on solutions for local and regional energy system transformations. Whether it is a community, industry or student competition: all prize winners have innovations in common that are practical and sustainable. Their projects serve as forward-looking examples of renewable energies in Europe," said Prof. Droege.
Since 1994, the prize has been awarded annually to municipalities, municipal companies, associations and organisations, architects, journalists and private individuals in cooperation with the national sections of EUROSOLAR. The award recognises the dedication and inventiveness of regional players and provides new impetus for a regenerative and decentralised energy revolution in Europe.
