Reviews of the award

Pavel Zavalny
Pavel Zavalny
First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Energy

"Today the competition has taken a worthy place in the federal energy agenda. This is evidenced not only by the growth in the number of participants, but also by the steady improvement in the quality of competition projects. Among the Award finalists are projects related to energy supply for enterprises across industries, remote and isolated territories, renewable energy projects, and the introduction of unique domestic developments."

Nonna Kagramanyan
Nonna Kagramanyan
Vice President, Head of the Executive Committee of "Business Russia"

"Business Russia has been a co-organiser of this project for several years now. We are pleased to note that the Award demonstrates best practices in the field of small distributed and renewable energy year after year. The more we showcase best practices, the higher the quality of our products will become — our power plants, energy equipment, innovations and technologies."

Boris Martsinkevich
Boris Martsinkevich
Editor-in-chief of the independent online publication "Geoenergetika INFO"

"I am very pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of the projects. Good depth of elaboration — these are real projects that Russia needs. It is a big country, and large-scale energy doesn't cover everything. Small-scale energy is more flexible. I appreciate the high level of the jury. International cooperation is being restored. I think few people suspected that such serious progress was happening in the country."

Nikita Afonin
Nikita Afonin

"Russian power generation has huge potential, and the Award demonstrates this every year. It is gratifying to see how many Russian enterprises and Russian minds are involved in developing our economy and our distributed generation. Thank you to the organisers for this competition."

Aleksey Kaplun

General Director, "H2 Clean Energy" LLC

"Recognition by a high professional community of what we do is very important and necessary. I hope that our work will not just be one of many competition projects, but will form the basis of an entire area of distributed generation that we will continue to develop. Years from now we will all remember that the first step was taken at this Award."

Roman Tsybin
