This category recognizes projects that demonstrate digital innovation in planning, design and engineering, or operations of infrastructure assets for energy production and related process innovations. These assets could include oil and gas, wind turbine, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, or other power generation, whether offshore or onshore. Please showcase your innovative use of Bentley applications, either independently or combined with other software—including OpenPlant, iTwin, PlantSight, ProjectWise, AutoPIPE, SACS, MOSES, STAAD, MicroStation, SYNCHRO, AssetWise, and all Seequent products—across the entire project and asset lifecycle.

Please include any quantitative results relating to cost savings and productivity, as well as quality and safety, if applicable. Remember to include high-quality visuals—such as images, screenshots, animations, charts, videos, and diagrams—and provide actual models and product screenshots. Please also provide examples of how you are leveraging digital twins and AI across the lifecycle to advance project delivery and enhance asset performance.

Criteria 1

Showcase how the project is improving the industry, including:

• Project efficiency.
• Reduced cost or time.
• Improved access to, and use of, project data.
• Positive social and environmental impact.

Criteria 2

Illustrate the innovative and creative use of Bentley technology, such as application of iTwin products or platform to improve:

• Information access.
• Project quality.
• Compliance.
• Risk mitigation.

Criteria 3

Showcase the complexity of the project delivered, or the difficulty of the problems that were solved, as well as the technical challenges. Some examples include:

• An exceptional or harsh environment.
• Interoperability between multiple or third-party products.

Criteria 4

Provide measured/quantified return on investment (ROI) achieved using Bentley software, including:

• Cost savings (energy efficiency, water loss, design, construction and maintenance costs).
• Time savings.
• Resource optimization.
• Risk management (mitigation measures and solutions).

Criteria 5

Showcase sustainability impact of the project (climate adaptation, society, community, safety, environmental, etc.), including:

• Energy savings.
• Lower carbon footprint.
• Improved resilience.
• Improved quality of life.
• Mitigated risk.

Submissions must include high-quality, engaging, and informative images, screenshots, models, simulations, animations and movies, charts, and/or diagrams.
