KUALA LUMPUR: Pos Malaysia and Indonesia's Pertamina have been named the inaugural winners of the Energy Asia Awards, in recognition of their groundbreaking contributions to the region's energy transition. Held in conjunction with the Energy Asia 2025 conference hosted by Petronas, the awards carry the theme 'Delivering Asia's Energy Transition' and honour individuals and organisations that are accelerating the region's shift towards a low-carbon, inclusive, and sustainable energy future.

The ambitious programme aims to cut emissions by half by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050. Built around a data-driven, sustainable logistics ecosystem, the project integrates decarbonisation, community upliftment, and workforce empowerment. Meanwhile, the Trailblazer Award, which recognises inclusive energy solutions that empower communities and promote social equity, was awarded to Pertamina for its Desa Energi Berdikari (Energy-Independent Village) project. The Indonesian initiative promotes decentralised clean energy systems that address waste management, energy access, and carbon emissions, while advancing rural electrification and inclusive development across the country's villages. Both projects highlight tangible, scalable solutions that cross borders and demonstrate how lower-carbon, affordable, and accessible energy can be delivered equitably. The winners exemplify the spirit of innovation and collaboration essential for a just and inclusive energy transition. Their commitment to responsible and sustainable practices sets a high benchmark for the industry, with lasting impact on communities across Asia. The inaugural edition of the Energy Asia Awards attracted more than 150 submissions from 20 countries, showcasing a broad spectrum of purpose-driven and scalable initiatives across various industries. Each submission underwent a rigorous, multi-stage evaluation by a distinguished panel comprising industry leaders, sustainability advocates, and technical experts. Entries were assessed based on innovation, impact, sustainability, and scalability, with transparency and excellence embedded in the judging process. Following a comprehensive review and a final pitch session involving six shortlisted finalists, the judging panel selected the two winning initiatives. Moving forward, the Energy Asia Awards are set to become a cornerstone of the conference, reinforcing the region's commitment to championing practical, impactful solutions that secure Asia's energy future while advancing equity and sustainability. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
