Nicola Waters was announced this week as winner of the Net Zero Energy Pioneer at this year’s Green Energy Awards, hosted by Regen, a leading centre of expertise in the transition to net zero energy, and sponsored by specialist grid consultancy Roadnight Taylor.
The Awards are a leading national celebration of innovative technologies, pioneering companies, and inspiring individuals shaking up the energy system and driving towards a zero carbon future.
The Net Zero Energy Pioneer award highlights the achievements of the inspiring individuals making a real difference in the vital challenge of decarbonising our energy system.
This year, nominations came from across a wide variety of backgrounds, including community energy, the public sector and from the business community.
Nicola has built not one, but two green energy companies from 10 to over 100 people. Her transition from developing clean energy assets to services to the digital integration of those assets tracks the journey of the clean energy industry over the last 15 years, albeit a few years behind her. She is a tireless do-er, an unstoppable force, and a breath of fresh air.
Nicola, COO, Electron, said “I am delighted to win this award, and feel proud to have been recognised for making a difference. I’m excited to be working on the cutting edge of the next wave of change- the digital transformation of the energy sector, which will allow us to achieve our net zero ambitions in a faster way that brings more value, power and opportunity to everyone.”
Merlin Hyman, chief executive, Regen, said, “The 2022 Green Energy Awards showcased the extraordinary range of innovative zero carbon solutions available and the pioneering individuals committed to bringing them forward. The inspiring award winners and nominees demonstrate we have the ability to end our addiction to fossil fuels and will, I hope, galvanise us all to take even bolder action towards net zero.”
