Petersberg / Bonn. December 12, 2024. On December 11, 2024, the Energy Transition Award (EWA) was presented to over 30 manufacturers as part of the European Sustainability Week at the Steigenberger Icon Grandhotel & Spa Petersberg. The EWA is awarded by the internationally recognized market research and certification institute EUPD Group to those manufacturers who are distinguished by excellent ratings among installers and end customers and thus drive forward the energy transition in Germany in an exemplary manner through their commitment.
Germany’s best manufacturers came together at the ESG Summit, which provided a platform for high-ranking decision-makers in the sustainable economy. They received the award for their commitment in the individual categories – charging stations, modules, heat pumps, inverters, storage systems and HEMS.The assessment of the manufacturers is based in equal parts on the results of installer and end customer surveys, which are carried out once a year by the EUPD Group in Germany. Over 6,000 end customers and over 1,000 installers rated the manufacturers’ brands. The award-winning companies have succeeded in comprehensively integrating the new energy world into their product and service portfolio. This makes them a role model for other manufacturers and thus supports successful sustainable development.
Winners of the Energy Transition Award 2024:
“With this award, we want to make it clear that all industries have a responsibility to drive forward the energy transition and promote sustainability. At the same time, we want to draw attention to the fact that there are already pioneers whose strategies and concepts other parts of the market can follow. We would like to congratulate all the winners of the Energy Transition Award,” says founder and CEO of the EUPD Group Markus A.W. Hoehner. “Due to the strong connection between the energy transition and the overall social sustainability discussions, it was a necessary step for us to integrate the award ceremony thematically into the ESG Summit. After all, this is the place where leading experts work together on new ways to create a more sustainable future for everyone.”
