«On behalf of the State Duma Committee on Energy and personally, I extend my greetings to the contestants, experts, and organisers of the X Jubilee International Award «Distributed Power Generation – Great Achievements»!
Over the years, this competition has secured a worthy place in the federal energy agenda. This is evidenced not only by the increasing number of participants but also by the consistent enhancement in the quality of the competition projects. Among this year's finalists are projects related to energy supply for enterprises across various industries, remote and isolated areas, as well as initiatives based on renewable energy sources and the implementation of unique domestic developments.
Today, the Russian energy sector faces a number of challenges that are shaping a new set of energy agenda issues. Undoubtedly, the current priority is the technological development of the energy sector, including small and distributed generation technologies, digitalisation, environmental sustainability, and improving energy efficiency.
I am confident that the X International Award ‘Distributed Power Generation – Great Achievements' will help identify leading projects in the field of distributed and renewable energy, provide insight into innovative industry technological solutions, and showcase domestic developments, thereby contributing to the enhancement of the scientific and engineering potential of the sector.
I wish the contestants victory and further success in the implementation of energy projects, fruitful work to the experts, and continued development for the Award itself.
