From June 17, submission of applications for the VIII International Award «Distributed Power Generation - Great Achievements» is available. According to the organizer of the competition, the president of the Distributed Power Generation Association Maksim Zagornov, despite the world economy crisis many energy companies have shown unprecedented ability to mobilize the efforts, going on in implementation of the innovative projects, commissioning new distributed power generation facilities. // The main task of this year's award is to help identify such projects, best anti-crisis practices, to encourage all those who continued to develop the distributed power generation industry in Russia and abroad in despite of the situation.

It is worth recalling that the International Award «Distributed Power Generation – Great Achievements» has been held since 2013 and today it is a recognized platform for the presentation of advanced projects in the field of distributed power generation. The competition is organized by the Distributed Power Generation Association, co-organized by the All Russia Public Organization "Business Russia". Official support for the project is provided by the Energy Committee of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation.

This year, the Prize will be awarded in 6 nominations:

  • "Best distributed power generation project - power capacity up to 5 MW";
  • "Best distributed power generation project - power capacity over 5 MW";
  • "Best alternative energy project";
  • "Advanced development in the energy sector";
  • "Investor of the year in the energy sector"
  • and "For contribution into the energy sector development".

One of the main innovations of the award of this year will be the launch of an electronic application collection system on the updated website of the project. With the help of this platform, members of the International Expert Council of the Award will evaluate the competitive projects. Should be noted that the council is represented by 35 well-known scientists and leading industry experts, including the First Deputy Chairman of the Energy Committee of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Sergei Yesyakov, Chairman of the All-Russian public organization "Business Russia" Alexey Repik, Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences Valentin Parmon, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Head of the Laboratory of the Institute of Thermal Physics of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergei Alekseenko, Board member at “KEGOC” JSC Dominique Fache, Executive Vice-President of Fortum Corporation Aleksandr Chuvaev, Head of Power and Utilities, Energy Centre, Moscow School of Management SKOLKOVO Alexey Khokhlov, and many others.

The President of the Distributed Power Generation Association, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Distributed Power Generation of the "Business Russia" Energy Committee Maksim Zagornov noted that one of the main tasks of this year's award is to identify the best industry projects, to encourage all those who continued to develop the distributed power generation industry in such a difficult economic situation.

"Of course, 2020 will go down in history as a year of a global change. We all found ourselves in a new reality - said Maksim Zagornov. - The COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp slowdown in the economy, a decline in markets, dealt a blow to small and medium-sized businesses, including in the distributed power generation industry. But any crisis is a time of flexibility, speed, bold action. And many energy companies have demonstrated an unprecedented ability to mobilize the efforts, going on in implementation of the innovative projects, introducing unique developments, commissioning new distributed power generation facilities. I am sure that the VIII International Award "Distributed Power Generation - Great Achievements" will help to identify such projects, best anti-crisis practices, adequately encourage all those who continued to provide the country's enterprises with affordable energy resources, developed the distributed power generation industry in Russia and abroad in despite of the situation".

NB: over 500 companies and persons took part in the competition in seven years, 30 of them became the winners. To date, the International Award "Distributed Power Generation - Great Achievements" has secured the status of an authoritative industry competitive project.
