The most outstanding companies with ground-breaking projects and trailblazing initiatives in Asia???s power sector were recognised at the 16th Asian Power Awards, held digitally from 27 October to 3 November 2020.

This year???s nominations were judged by an elite panel of judges consisting of Mike Thomas, Partner at The Lantau Group; Wen Bin Lim, Director, Power and Utilities at KPMG Advisory; John Yeap, Partner at Pinsent Masons; Petteri Harkki at Regional Director for Asia at AFRY; and Gervasius Samosir, Partner at YCP Solidiance.
