The Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE) Women of Distinction Awards recognize and celebrate professional women working in the energy sector who go above and beyond business-as-usual.

The new WiRE-CHA Hydropower Woman of Distinction Award will recognize a leader who has contributed significantly to the expansion and improvement of the hydropower sector. The winner will receive her award at the Canadian Hydropower Association’s CHA Forum, November 21-22 2018 in Ottawa. Deadline for nominations: September 10, 2018.
Launched in 2013, WiRE forges partnerships with a spectrum of renewable energy industry associations, other related networking groups for professional women from across the energy sector, and academic providers. WiRE appreciates the financial and industry support it receives from our sponsors, which helps to provide our programming at low or no cost.
WIRE started in Toronto, and has since launched chapters in Montreal, Ottawa, Southern and Northern Alberta, British Columbia, Hamilton / Mississauga, Southwestern Ontario, Saskatchewan and Newfoundland.
