A strong field of candidates have emerged as finalists for the tenth annual Deloitte Energy Excellence Awards.
Ten awards categories recognise best practice in the New Zealand energy sector, celebrating the important contribution the industry makes to society and the economy.
Two new categories have been launched this year. The Network Initiative award recognises outstanding results from projects on electricity, gas or fuel transmission or distribution networks.
The Well-being Award celebrates organisations who have achieved excellence in caring for their people – the energy sector’s most valuable asset.
Minister of Energy and Resources Megan Woods will address an expected audience of about 650 as the awards are presented at the Cordis Hotel in Auckland on August 21.

The awards are organised by Freeman, publisher of Energy News. Founding principal sponsor Deloitte continues its support of the event.
Judges were once again impressed with the quality of projects put forward and the innovation across disciplines in the sector. However, Freeman general manager Neil Wembridge says a particular feature this year was the way in which firms are embedding excellence into their business as usual operations.
“The judges recognise that isn’t easy to do, and requires considerable thought and dedication,” Wembridge says. “We are keen to celebrate this.”
Also impressive was the breadth of entries, with small specialist companies standing alongside the giants of the sector in demonstrating excellence.
Wembridge says the quality of entries this year was such that making the final stage is a considerable achievement in itself. Many entrants missed out on the final list by a whisker.
“We would certainly encourage this year’s entrants to put themselves forward again next year as initiatives mature.”
The 2019 finalists are:
Network Initiative of the Year – sponsored by Nexans
Well-being Award – sponsored by nib
Community Initiative of the Year – sponsored by PEPANZ
Low Carbon Future – sponsored by Business NZ Energy Council
Innovation in Energy – sponsored by Gentrack
Young Energy Professional of the Year – sponsored by ABB
Energy Technology of the Year
Large Energy User Initiative of the Year – sponsored by EECA Business
Judging
Entries are evaluated by an expert panel of independent judges. Strategy and management consultant Carmen Blackler joined the panel this year.
Former Energy Law Association president Elisabeth Welson returns to the panel she first joined in 2012 as chair. Welson is joined by Sapere Research Group director Toby Stevenson, Carbon Match founder Lizzie Chambers, independent consultant John Hancock, and Electricity Networks Association chief executive Graeme Peters.
Enerlytica director and head of research John Kidd and Petroleum Exploration and Production Association of New Zealand chief executive Cameron Madgwick lend their considerable upstream expertise to the judging panel.
Finalists for the Consumer NZ Energy Retailer of the Year - sponsored by EDMI - will be announced on July 24.
The Editor's Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Sector - sponsored by Utilities Disputes - will be announced on the night.
