KUALA LUMPUR, 17 June 2025 – The inaugural Energy Asia Awards themed ‘Delivering Asia’s Energy Transition’, honoured two outstanding changemakers for their contributions in delivering transformative impact across Asia’s energy landscape and accelerating the region’s shift towards a low-carbon, inclusive, and sustainable future.
Held in conjunction with Energy Asia by PETRONAS, the awards recognise individuals and organisations creating innovative solutions that address Asia’s rising energy demand, tackle emissions challenges, and drive urgent systemic change while safeguarding vulnerable communities.
This first edition of the awards drew over 150 submissions from 20 countries, reflecting a diverse range of purpose-driven and scalable projects across industries.
Each entry underwent a rigorous multi-stage evaluation conducted by a distinguished panel of industry leaders, sustainability champions, and technical experts. Submissions were assessed on innovation, impact, sustainability, and scalability, with transparency and excellence at the core of the judging process.
Following comprehensive reviews and a final pitch session with six shortlisted finalists, the judges selected two trailblazing initiatives:
The Eureka Award - recognising technological innovation that advances measurable decarbonisation and environmental goals - was awarded to Pos Malaysia for its Greening the Last Mile: Pos Malaysia’s Sustainability Transformation.
The ambitious initiative seeks to halve emissions by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050 through a data-driven, sustainable logistics ecosystem that integrates decarbonisation, community upliftment, and workforce empowerment.
The Trailblazer Award – celebrating inclusive solutions that drive social equity and empower communities through the energy transition – was presented to Pertamina for Desa Energi Berdikari (Energy-Independent Village) project.
This visionary project promotes decentralised clean energy solutions that tackle waste, energy consumption, and CO₂ emissions, while supporting rural electrification and inclusive, sustainable development across Indonesia’s villages. These projects demonstrate the real, tangible solutions being forged across borders to deliver lower-carbon, affordable and accessible energy for all.
Winners of the Energy Asia Awards exemplify the spirit of innovation and collaboration that is vital to delivering a just and inclusive energy transition. Their commitment to responsible and sustainable practices sets a powerful benchmark for the industry, with far-reaching impact on the region and communities.
The awards will continue to be a central feature of the Conference, reinforcing the commitment to championing practical, scalable solutions that accelerate Asia’s transition while ensuring energy security and equitable growth.
