In a state where oil refineries, chemical plants and energy export terminals define the skyline, a new initiative is set to recognize the people and projects driving that industry forward—both in its traditional forms and its emerging frontiers.
Nominations open Tuesday for The Louisiana Energy Awards, which will celebrate leadership, innovation and community impact across Louisiana’s diverse energy sector.
From the Gulf’s deepwater platforms to carbon capture initiatives and renewable energy investments, the awards aim to reflect the complexity and evolution of an industry that remains central to the state’s economy.
The program will culminate in a formal dinner and awards ceremony in Baton Rouge on Nov. 5. Both finalists and honorees will be featured in the fall edition of 10/12 Industry Report, Business Report’s sister publication that is producing the event.
Seven categories will be recognized, including Lifetime Achievement, Energy Executive of the Year, Emerging Energy Leader, Energy Company of the Year (with separate recognition for large and small to mid-sized businesses), Energy Deal of the Year and a Community Impact Award.
Nominations will be accepted through June 30. Eligibility is limited to individuals, companies or projects with a strong connection to Louisiana’s energy economy.
