Black hole horizon is usually defined as the limit for existence of timelike worldline or when a spatially bound surface turns oneway (it is crossable only in one direction). It would be insightful and physically appealing to find its characterization involving an energy consideration. By employing the Brown-York [1] quasilocal energy we propose a new and novel characterization of the horizon of static black hole. It is the surface at which the Brown-York energy equipartitions itself between the matter and potential energy. It is also equivalent to equipartitioning of the binding energy and the gravitational charge enclosed by the horizon.
