Global Energy Prize

The Global Energy International Prize is a scientific award for outstanding achievements in the areas of power engineering and energy industries.

After its promulgation by the Russian President Vladimir Putin in November 2002 at a summit in Brussels, the Global Energy Prize was awarded for the first time in Moscow in 2003. He is supposed to represent an equivalent to the Nobel Prize, and is therefore also referred to as the Nobel Prize of the energy sciences. The price is to promote international cooperation in solving important problems present in the field of energy.

The award is made annually in Saint Petersburg. The nomination is carried out with the exclusion of the public from an international committee. The awards ceremony will takes place by the patron Vladimir Putin himself, with the prize money in the amount of one million dollars will be donated by Russian energy companies Yukos, Gazprom and UES.
