MEMBER NEWS: Apollo Nominated for Three Prestigious Scottish Renewables Awards

Apollo, a leading engineering and energy advisory consultancy, has been named a finalist in three categories at the Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards. These nominations acknowledge Apollo’s ongoing commitment to advancing the energy sector and contributing to a sustainable future.

Hosted by Scottish Renewables, the awards celebrate the people at the heart of the sector, who make the deployment of billion-pound renewable energy projects possible.

Apollo has been shortlisted for the following awards:

  • Technology and Business Innovation Award
  • Collaboration in Action Award
  • Outstanding SME Award

This recognition comes amid a period of remarkable progress for Apollo, marked by a phase of innovation and problem solving in offshore technologies, helping customers prove concepts, reduce costs and scale up. These nominations underscore Apollo’s role in the renewable energy sector, where we consistently bring together teams and solutions that advance the global energy transition.

Nigel Robinson, Apollo’s Offshore Renewables Director, expressed his enthusiasm: “Being shortlisted for three awards at such a respected event is a testament to our team’s dedication and creativity. At Apollo, we’ve always strived to be at the cutting edge of the energy transition, playing a crucial role in projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible.”

The awards ceremony is set for 22 August in Aberdeen. A complete list of finalists for the 2024 Scottish Green Energy Supply Chain Awards is available here: https://www.scottishrenewables.com/news/1662-shortlist-announced-for-scottish-green-energy-supply-chain-awards.

Get in touch

AREG is the original energy transition organisation, working on behalf of members to empower the energy supply chain and champion its expertise. Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to find out more about membership.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
