The IHS CERAWeek Global Energy Lifetime Achievement Award is awarded to
individuals who have made a significant and lasting impact on the global
energy future. President Peña Nieto will receive the award in
recognition of his vision and leadership in transforming Mexico’s energy
industry.
“No country has more profoundly modernized every aspect of its energy
sector—from oil and gas, to power and renewable energy, to the sale of
refined products—in such a short time,” said Daniel Yergin, conference
chair and vice chairman of IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global
source of critical information and insight. “Already these changes are
bringing lower electricity prices to the Mexican people. They promise to
capture the best technologies to restore Mexico's position as a world
leader in oil and gas. It took profound leadership to put Mexico on this
course and to make this transformation real. For this we honor President
Enrique Peña Nieto.”
IHS CERAWeek is recognized as a leading forum offering insight into the
energy future. Chaired by Daniel Yergin, IHS CERAWeek 2016, Energy
