"Today, the competition has earned a worthy place on the federal energy agenda. This is evidenced not only by the growing number of participants but also by the consistently improving quality of the competition projects. Among the finalists of the Award are projects related to power supply for enterprises in various industries, remote and isolated territories, projects based on renewable energy sources, and those incorporating unique domestic developments."

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

"I am very pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of projects. There is good depth of elaboration – these are real projects that Russia needs. Our country is large, and large scale energy cannot cope everywhere. Small scale energy is more operational and more flexible. I am also grateful for the composition of the jury – it is of a very high level. International cooperation is also being restored. I think few people suspected that such serious progress was taking place in the country."

"Russian energy has enormous potential, and the Award demonstrates this every year. It is pleasing to see that a large number of Russian enterprises and Russian minds are becoming involved in the development of our economy and our distributed generation. Thank you to the organisers for this competition."

"Recognition of what we do by the high professional community is very important and necessary. And I hope that our work will not remain just one of the competition projects but will become the foundation of an entire direction of distributed generation that we will develop. And in years to come, we will all remember that the first step was taken at this Award."

"I feel an inner elation because our entire team worked towards this victory for a very long time. We thank the Small Scale Power Generation Association for this opportunity to show ourselves and present our achievements to the industry community. Thank you very much."
