DES MOINES, Iowa – (Dec. 4, 2008) – Citing MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company’s impressive string of energy industry honors, organizers of the 2008 Platts Global Energy Awards last night recognized MidAmerican as one of four companies worldwide to earn an Award of Excellence.
In addition, one of the company’s subsidiaries – the MidAmerican Energy Pipeline Group – took top honors as Energy Transporter of the Year. The Pipeline Group incorporates operations of Northern Natural Gas Company and Kern River Gas Transmission Company.
The Award of Excellence honors MidAmerican for having earned the most recognition as a Platts Global Energy Award winner throughout a “decade of tumultuous change.” MidAmerican has earned more Platts awards than any other company in the history of the awards.
MidAmerican chairman David Sokol accepted the award at a ceremony in New York City, which was attended by energy executives from around the world.
“We are honored to receive this special recognition from an entity as prestigious as the Platts organization,” Sokol said.
With the Award of Excellence and the 2008 Energy Transporter of the Year award, MidAmerican has earned six Platts Global Energy Awards since the awards began in 1999. The 2008 awards follow MidAmerican’s recognition as Power Company of the Year in 2007.
“Being recognized by Platts in this manner is a direct reflection of the commitment of MidAmerican’s employees to provide reliable, environmentally conscious and affordable energy to our customers around the world,” Sokol said. “Strong employee commitment enables MidAmerican to provide outstanding customer service to our existing customers and to focus on growing and expanding our business operations to meet their energy needs.”
MidAmerican and one of its subsidiaries also were nominated in three other areas of competition in the 2008 Platts Global Energy Awards process. MidAmerican was a finalist in the categories of Community Development Program of the Year and Industry Leadership Award, and MidAmerican Energy Company was selected as a finalist for Marketing Campaign of the Year.
