Energy

Development needs sustainable energy: it is the basis for companies to produce and create jobs. Energy is needed to grow and prepare food, to heat houses and schools, to operate hospitals and to provide clean drinking water. It makes worldwide communication and mobility possible. The set-up and extension of energy supply in developing countries is indispensable for the successful fight against poverty and for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). At the same time, measures need to be taken to lower the global energy consumption and to stop the climate change. Besides the promotion of renewable energy, this competition also serves the purpose of implementing measures of companies aimed at energy efficiency.

From 15 February 2012, you'll find a link here to the forms and information you need to enter the competition.
