New names emerged at this year's awards held in Thailand.

The Asian Power Awards, dubbed as the ‘Oscars’ of the power industry, has once again recognized top achievers in the region as they unceasingly strive for quality and excellence in their own categories.

Various delegates from the region’s best power companies attended the awarding ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel in Bangkok, Thailand last Oct 4 to witness the prestigious event.

The judges were John Goss, Managing Director, Ceejay International Ltd; John Yeap - Partner, Head of Energy - Asia, Pinsent Masons; Narayan Bhat, Head, Power Asia, Lloyd's Register Group; Geoff James - Principal Research Scientist, Energy Technology, CSIRO Australia; Lachminiwas ('LN') Sadani - Managing Director, Chief, Investment Officer - AFD; and Tim Charlton, Editor-in-Chief, Asian Power Magazine.
