For its work with Ofgem to offer energy suppliers the ability to defer payment of network charges, in order to offer additional protection to customers, it is shortlisted in the "Best Covid-19 response in associations" category.
Commenting, David Smith, Chief Executive of ENA said:
"I am really proud of the team we have at ENA who have adapted to a 'new normal' while prioritising initiatives that support Net Zero and protect customers. To be recognised for this work as a finalist in these awards is fantastic."
