Overall, €48m in energy savings was delivered by companies who entered the awards.
Energy Minister Alex White said: "The sustainable energy activities we are recognising through these awards are making an important contribution to our economic recovery.
"While energy demand will increase to supply Ireland's growing economic activity, the industry has worked hard to break the rigid 'one-to-one' link between increased economic output and increased energy demand.
"Our energy is now delivered and utilised much more efficiently and intelligently than in the past."
