Event Overview

Scheduled for December 11, 2025, the winners will be revealed at a glamorous black-tie gala held in New York City. The significance of these awards has led many to dub it the 'Oscars of energy,' a sentiment echoed by attendees and participants alike.

The event is organized by SP Global Commodity Insights, a leading authority providing critical insights, data, and analysis in the energy, petrochemicals, metals, shipping, and commodities markets.

The finalists represent countries from across continents, including notable contenders from Colombia, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico, along with participants from Italy, Morocco, the Netherlands, Finland, Turkey, and Australia. This diversity not only broadens perspectives but also encourages a rich exchange of innovative ideas and solutions crucial for the future of energy.
