The Middle East Energy Awards concluded on Wednesday, February 23, with a ceremony recognising the winners across 10 highly competitive categories.
The awards celebrated the energy projects, initiatives, individuals, and companies that have changed the way we use energy in the Middle East over the last year and covered the upstream, downstream, and utilities sectors, including renewables.
Competition was fierce this year after we received a record number of nominations from a record number of companies. Winners were eventually decided by our expert judging panel consisting of three industry veterans and two members of the Middle East Energy Awards editorial board.
In attendance were 120 members of the energy industry from across the Middle East. Our thanks to all those who attended and congratulations again to all the shortlisted finalists, highly commended and winners of the 2022 Middle East Energy Awards.
