In celebration of excellence and innovation in the energy sector, the Energy Chamber of TT awarded the MIC Institute of Technology (MIC-IT) the Best Social Investment Project Award at the TT Energy Conference at the Hyatt Regency on February 11.

The award, presented by British High Commissioner Jon Mark Dean, recognises the impact of MIC-IT’s Centre for Renewable Energy and Associated Technologies (CREATe). The centre, in Pointe-a-Pierre, was launched by MIC-IT in 2023 and aims to advance TT’s energy sector.

A press release from MIC-IT said the centre offers essential education and professional development in renewable energy technology. It aims to reduce TT’s carbon footprint while increasing the nation’s energy capacity by focusing on solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and hydrogen energy.
