There are just three weeks remaining before the deadline for entry into the Utility Week Awards 2016.

The fourteen award categories are open to any company involved in the utilities sector, with the deadline for entries being 9 September.

Companies producing, distributing and retailing energy or water. Other companies are welcome to enter jointly with utility partners.

We are looking for those companies that go above and beyond the call of duty, so we will be asking you to demonstrate that you had ambitious aims, proportionate to the size of your company, and that you met or exceeded them. They recognise excellence across the industry, no matter what the sector, the size of the company or the scale of the project.

Competition for these awards is fierce, and winning a place on the shortlist is an achievement in itself. We’ll honour all our winners, reveal who are the best of the best – and have a great night out – at the Grosvenor House hotel in Park Lane on 12 December. It’s the industry’s “Christmas party” and a great opportunity to join the great and good as they celebrate the year’s achievements.

Entries will be judged by independent panels of industry experts. Our judges know the industry, so they are less impressed by a glossy entry than by one that clearly demonstrates achievements – and backs them up with evidence. So decide where your company has excelled: submit your entries by 9 September and get ready to celebrate your company’s achievements.

The important dates to your diary are:
