To mark the annual Energy Fair & Sweden\u2019s Energy Forum, we would like to highlight an individual, a company or a public authority that has done something exemplary which others should take note of!<\/p>

The Progress Award is not something you apply for yourself. It is something that others believe you deserve. So take this opportunity to nominate someone you admire or appreciate \u2013 someone who has helped you or simply been particularly talented and contributed to Sweden\u2019s development in the energy sector! <\/p>

This can range from new strategies, procurement methods, training programmes or partnerships to technical innovations that drive progress in various areas of the energy system.<\/p>

Winner of the Energy Progress Award of the Year: NKT High Voltage Cables and Borealis<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The cable manufacturer NKT and the plastics manufacturer Borealis are two Swedish companies which, through a long-standing and close collaboration, have created a world-leading product for the transmission of high-voltage electricity with correspondingly low energy losses. This demand has led to a spectacular and successful scaling-up of the business. The company is now continuing to develop both its research and development activities and its production capacity in order to maintain its world-leading position. They will therefore share the prize for the 2026 Energy Progress Award. <\/p>

\u201cThis award recognises what long-term collaboration can achieve. Together with Borouge International, we have worked for several decades to develop advanced HVDC power cable technology and apply it in concrete projects across Europe. Our long-term innovation in HVDC cables has now made the technology the obvious choice for large-scale power transmission.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Thomas Liljenberg, Senior Director at NKT Technology Consulting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSaltX has taken on one of the industrial processes that is most difficult to operate without carbon dioxide emissions. Electric calcination is a technically challenging feat which, if successful, could transform the entire industry. Many initiatives and proposals have been put forward, but most are still at the research or laboratory trial stage. With courage and determination, SaltX is leading the way and demonstrating how fossil-free electricity can replace fossil fuels even in the most challenging processes through its pilot plant in Hofors. \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The cable manufacturer NKT High Voltage Cables and the manufacturer of insulator materials, Borealis, are two companies in Sweden which, through a long-standing and close collaboration, have created a world-leading product for the transmission of electricity at high voltage and, consequently, with low energy losses. Demand has led to a spectacular and successful scaling-up of the business. The companies are now continuing to develop both research and development and expanded production capacity in order to maintain their world-leading position. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A nomination must include a clear description of who should receive the award and how we can contact the recipient. It should also include a brief explanation of why the achievement is worthy of an award (maximum 1,500 characters). Please feel free to include links describing what has been achieved. <\/p>

It\u2019s not a Nobel Prize; it\u2019s mainly a matter of honour and recognition for the winner, and the attention it brings gives others the chance to learn from this progress. Please email your nominations to: samhalle@liveexpo.se <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
