EXCELLENCE AWARDS REPORT
Leading Excellence: Aligned with self-reliance The IESA Industry Excellence Awards
T
he IESA Industry Excellence Awards were initiated by the India Energy Storage Alliance in 2017 to acknowledge the innovativeness and achievements of organisations in energy storage, EV and the microgrid industry. This year, specifically, IESA lauds the resilient efforts of the industry and its perseverance in the wake of a slowdown and the midst of a pandemic. IESA’s endeavor has always been to encourage and champion the work of organizations, projects and people who not only help in promoting green energy solutions, but also create value for the end consumer. The excellence awards recognise and reward remarkable achievements in the field of energy storage, e-mobility and microgrid solutions. The awardees are selected by the competitive scoring and evaluation framework developed by the jury panel and senior advisors to IESA, who comprise global Industry veterans and policymakers. The awards are presented at IESA’s annual conference and Expo event held every year to showcase developments in the Energy Storage space. Over the years, different categories of awards have been added based on industry feedback and suggestions. With the development of new policies in this space, IESA added new categories to recognise the effort of both the State and Central government bodies and departments, and key policy makers and regulators. This year IESA has also introduced categories to honor the efforts of women leaders in both energy storage and e-mobility sphere.
