On October 25, the Distributed Power Generation Association will hold a conference Distributed Generation as a Tool for Energy Independence of Enterprises: Innovative Solutions and Import Substitution in the Industry conference. The event will be held in Moscow as part of the International Exhibition MACHINERY/ELECTRO&HEAT GENERATION 2022 and will bring together leading experts of the Russian thermal power industry.

The Russian energy sector has faced global challenges, which have forced to change the vector of its development and move from an evolutionary strategy to a mobilization model. The tasks of maintaining the stability of power systems and reliable power supply of enterprises with cost-effective energy sources are coming to the fore. Against this background, the interest of industrial consumers in distributed energy is growing again – after all, own power generation has always been a real instrument of saving on energy resources. 

Meanwhile, the distributed power generation sub-sector itself is currently solving new tasks: with international sanctions being tightened, problems arise with the delivery of European generator equipment and its commissioning, there is a shortage of spare parts. However, even in these conditions, business finds solutions: new equipment manufacturers (from China, India, Turkey) are introduced to the market, alternative logistics is being developed, the processes of introducing domestic technologies and equipment are gaining momentum. In addition, the range of investment projects based on distributed power generation, including the use of natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, as well as renewable energy, is expanding.

So, what is the new power generation reality in Russia? What challenges does the distributed power generation industry face, and how does it overcome them? Is it possible to completely replace imported technologies and equipment with domestic analogues? Will the structure of consumption and generation change? What does the research and academic community really have to offer now? What growth points can pave the way for innovations? What should be the priority state support measures? Within the framework of the conference, organized by the Distributed Power Generation Association, representatives of Russian engineering companies will talk about the decisions taken, current developments, results obtained and promising projects. 

 
The conference will be moderated by Maksim Zagornov, President of the Distributed Power Generation Association, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Distributed Power Generation of Business Russia, CEO of MKC Group of Companies. The event will take place on October 25, 10.30-12.15 a.m. (Moscow time) at the following address: Moscow, IEC Expocenter, Pavilion 7-1.
