UK-India Awards announce shortlist – Edina parent company Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL) is delighted to be nominated for the ‘Deal of Year’ category award for its acquisition of UK power company Edina.
The UK-India Awards brings together and celebrates the innovative and trailblazing individuals and organisations that are making a significant contribution to the strong global partnership between the UK and India.
EESL has the largest energy efficiency portfolio in the world and is one of the fastest-growing companies in India. EESL’s appetite for scaling transformative energy efficient technologies led to the acquisition of power generation company Edina, the UK market-leader for on-site gas-fired power generation and Combined Heat and Power (CHP) solutions with over 700MW installed electrical capacity.
Neelima Jain, Director of Commercial and BD at Edina, says; “Edina’s acquisition marked a first-of-a-kind venture by an entity under the Ministry of Power, Government of India. The convergence of two distinct technology providers will further accelerate the adoption of energy efficient, low carbon technologies and will further strengthen bilateral trade between the UK and India.”
Manoj Ladwa, the British Indian entrepreneur and political strategist, Founder of India Inc. Group said; “The UK-India Awards recognise people and organisations who work to build the bridge between the UK and India. They bring a wealth of innovation and creativity to this rich and winning partnership.”
“This year’s nominations are no different – they are companies and individuals that recognise the importance of the UK-India relationship and the global role the countries must fulfil. In addition to this, the UK-India Awards will also celebrate the organisations and individuals contributing to the UK-India partnership’s leading, transformational impact on the world as a whole. They are working to bring new opportunities to this rich partnership.”
