It is now calling for nominations for the Clean Energy Awards, which will be presented at the Australian Clean Energy Summit in Sydney in July.

The awards recognise companies which have demonstrated excellence over the last 12 months, with a particular focus on project outcomes and stakeholder engagement.

"The Innovation and Community Engagement Awards provide important recognition of industry leaders who have risen above the pack in the past year and achieved positive outcomes, despite some challenging times for the renewable energy sector," Clean Energy Council chief executive Kane Thornton said.

"Good community engagement is vital to creating successful renewable energy projects that allow everyone in the broader community to benefit, and it goes without saying that innovation is what our industry is built upon. If your company has demonstrated excellence over the past year, we want you to nominate for a Clean Energy Council Award."

Nominations for the Clean Energy Council Innovation and Community Engagement Awards are open until Friday, June 5.
