OBM Announced as a Finalist for the Platts Global Energy Awards

BALTIMORE, MD – Sept. 10, 2026 – OBM, a leader in flexible load management and energy analytics solutions, today announced it has been named a finalist in the Grid Edge category of the 2026 Platts Global Energy Awards. Companies and individuals from 36 countries were selected as finalists for the program, now in its 28th year as the energy industry’s premier recognition event. The 2026 finalists, over 57% of which hail from outside of the United States, were announced by program host and organizer S&P Global Energy, the leading independent provider of information, data, analysis, and benchmark prices for the energy, petrochemicals, metals, shipping, commodities, and energy transition markets.

The Platts Global Energy Awards, often called the “Oscars” of energy, recognizes corporate and individual innovation, leadership, and exemplary performance in 19 categories spanning the entire energy and chemicals value chain.

The Grid Edge category recognizes companies changing how energy-intensive operations connect with the power grid. Through its Foreman platform, OBM gives customers real-time energy analytics and flexible load management to respond to changing grid and market conditions while giving power suppliers greater visibility and control over flexible demand. That work is helping bridge traditional power infrastructure with new sources of generation and creating new ways for customers to participate in a more flexible, responsive energy system.

“The energy industry continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, requiring resilience, strategic vision, and a willingness to embrace new opportunities. This year’s finalists have distinguished themselves through exceptional leadership, technological advancement, and operational excellence. Their achievements demonstrate how innovation is driving progress across global energy markets, and we are honored to recognize them through the 2026 Platts Global Energy Awards,” said Simon Marshall, Head of Energy Conferences, Training & Strategic Media, S&P Global Energy.

“Being named a Grid Edge finalist reflects what we set out to do at OBM: give energy-intensive operators real control over how they interact with the grid, not just visibility into it. This recognition belongs to our customers, who are proving every day that flexible load management is the future of grid reliability,” said Daniel Lawrence, CEO and Co-Founder of OBM.
