Who is this initiative for?

The proposed first round covers Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Government, Education and Agriculture in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra. It recognizes villa owners, commercial and industrial entities, appliance retailers, government entities, schools and private farms. Final eligibility rules remain subject to approval.

What will the awards recognize?

Open a sector card to explore its proposed awards, initial evaluation themes and suggested evidence. These range from measured electricity and water savings to efficient operations, technology, engagement and sustained impact. Residential entries place greater emphasis on water; the private-farm award focuses on water conservation. No numerical scoring weights are confirmed.

Which awards are proposed for Round 1?

Seven awards across six sectors, including two Commercial awards: one for efficient entities and one for efficient appliance retailers. The broader 25-award concept is not the current first-round shortlist. The shortlist is proposed, not open for official entries.

Where are the requirements and T&Cs?

Approved guidelines, terms and conditions, qualification criteria and mandatory document requirements are not yet available in this preview. Their proposed publication is January 2027, subject to approval. The downloadable preview guide helps you prepare but is not official entry rules.

What supporting documents should I prepare?

Consider consumption records, before-and-after comparisons, project reports, calculations and photographs. Final required documents, templates and submission dates have not yet been confirmed.
