Established in 1999 and often described as “the Oscars” of the energy industry, the Platts Global Energy Awards highlight corporate and individual innovation, leadership and performance excellence in 17 categories spanning the energy complex.

Shizen Energy Inc. is evaluated based on financial growth, innovation, net job growth, operational excellence, scope and strategic vision in the Rising Star Award (Company) category that recognizes the achievements of either a genuine startup business or an existing business that has moved into a brand new field. The uniqueness of strategic business model is recognized that Shizen Energy Inc. established joint venture companies with juwi AG of Germany in 2013 soon after its foundation in 2011 so that it can provide full services from planning and development to fundraising, EPC and O&M, for renewable energy power plants, within the Group. Also, the innovative program of “Koshi Agriculture Boosting project” that will return some of the proceeds from electricity sales to the community are well evaluated.
