Companies that make the final shortlist will be able to show how projects, technologies, and campaigns they have delivered have been impactful, innovative, and have showcased radical new solutions or opportunities for the energy industry. B2B companies are often overlooked for recognition, but finalists in this award will have the platform to show to the global energy community how they have made a real difference.

The purpose of the CHARGE awards is to increase awareness and highlight the importance of excellent branding in the rapidly changing energy sector. We do this by showcasing and honouring companies, and the people behind them, that have distinguished themselves with outstanding branding and communications work.
The CHARGE Awards are the first and only of its kind to recognise and award great branding within the energy space. Behind the awards is an international panel of experts within energy, marketing and communications that nominate the best brands each year. The panel further reviews the case studies that nominees submit.
The winners are announced at CHARGE Europe, in October 2024, in Lisbon, Portugal. Following inspiring discussions during the first day of CHARGE, energy professionals from around the world gather for a unique event and celebrate the world’s best energy brands.
A great energy brand stands out from the competition and is unique in the eyes of the consumers. It understands its customers and inspires loyalty. A great energy brand knows how to communicate its meaning and can effectively differentiate itself from the competition
