The 2020 finalists, chosen from approximately 300 nominated entries from over three dozen countries, were just announced by program host S&P Global Platts, the leading independent provider of information and benchmark prices for the commodities and energy markets.

Established in 1999 and often described as “the Oscars” of the energy industry, the S&P Global Platts Global Energy Awards highlight achievement in 21 categories spanning the entire energy complex.

The Lifetime Achievement Award recognizes prominent figures in the energy industry and lauds them for the leadership, innovation, integrity, strategic vision, and peer recognition displayed during their careers. Given Dr. Zak El-Ramly’s contributions to the world of energy, his nomination comes as no surprise.

Having been associated with the energy sector for over 4 decades now, Dr. El-Ramly is regarded as a pioneer and visionary in the data management industry. He is well-recognized among his peers and subordinates for his integrity and has been a part of multiple national and international regulatory commissions. His strategic vision makes him an invaluable asset, and he has participated in the negotiation of major international agreements.

Under his leadership, ZE has gone on to receive over 40 national and international awards. His most notable achievement includes ZE’s multi-award winning enterprise-level data management platform, ZEMA™. With a data ecosystem comprising over 1000 data sources, analytical functionalities, curve management, and integration capabilities, ZEMA is a technological feat made possible due to Dr. El-Ramly’s innovative vision and desire for excellence. It has proven to be a critical resource for all individuals and businesses associated with the energy and commodities sector.

Besides leading ZE to become a data management powerhouse, Dr. El-Ramly also developed a resource/demand-side energy management strategy, which led to the formation of BC Hydro’s globally syndicated and highly successful Power Smart Program.

“The Global Energy Awards, nominations and finalists continue to reflect the evolution of the industry, highlighting technology innovations, as well as accelerated focus on energy transition to a lower-carbon environment,” said Martin Fraenkel, President, S&P Global Platts. “Innovation, resolve, and transformation were characteristic throughout this year’s applications, and each of the finalists and nominees are to be congratulated for their accomplishments.”

Winners will be selected from each corresponding group of finalists by the Global Energy Awards’ independent panel of judges and announced at the live-streamed Global Energy Awards Virtual Gala on December 10th.
