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".

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.

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".
