About the Energy Asia Awards
Honouring Excellence in Delivering Asia's Energy Transition
The Energy Asia Awards celebrate outstanding achievements and leadership in driving impactful solutions in advancing a just and equitable energy transition.
These Awards honour individuals and organisations leading the change to meet growing energy demands, reduce carbon emissions, and foster systematic change toward sustainability while prioritising people and communities at the heart of the transition.
The Energy Asia Awards comprises two categories, reflecting the two essential aspects of the transition: technological innovation and social impacts. With a growth mindset to succeed, these trailblazing change-makers boldly chart a future brimming with potential, igniting a powerful wave of inspiration that compels others to take transformative action and turn vision into reality.
Winners will gain access to supportive and influential networks of like-minded individuals and organisations, build strategic partnerships, attract investments and scale innovations for even greater impact.
