The awards are the main event of the year for the Scottish renewables industry and showcases the very best in renewables and sustainable energy projects and also honours the people, organisations and communities going above and beyond to shape the industry's future.
Ore Valley's Community Wind Turbine project, based south of Cardenden, claimed the Best Community Project Award.

The project is the fulfilment of the Association's aspiration to see the local area benefit from a large-scale community renewable project with net profits used to support a community fund and the Association's own endeavours in the area.
Andrew Saunders, Ore Valley CEO, said: "We are delighted that this project has been recognised in the Scottish Green Energy Awards. With the project now delivering on its aspirations to derive a financial benefit for the local community, this award is validation of the years of effort and commitment it has taken to reach this stage."
The turbine produces 1800MW of green electricity annually for export to the grid, the equivalent power for 360 Fife homes and saves 313 tonnes of carbon emissions each year.
