2008 marks the tenth anniversary of the Platts Global Energy Awards--ten years in which the Awards have grown in stature, evolved in Quality, and come to be recongnized by the energy industry at large as the hallmarks of excellence.
The judging process relies on the expertise of an impartial panel of international energy experts, including energy ministers, national regulators, past and present heads of major energy companies, and leading academics and legislators.
The judges evaluated almost 200 entrants and selected the finalists based on the criteria for each category, taking into consideration the company's profile and financial performance from within the designated time-frame.
Winners of the 2008 Global Energy Awards will be announced at a gala celebration on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Click here for more information on attending the awards.
