A stronger role of Russian companies
on the market, as well as the tools and measures for supporting the energy
sector, were discussed at the session “Power Engineering: Development to
Achieve Technological Sovereignty” on 26 September at Moscow’s Gostiny Dvor as
part of the Russian Energy Week International Forum.
“We propose to focus on
digitalization of the energy sector and all related processes. We need to plan
our activities a step ahead, to develop what will be important tomorrow. Russia
has made significant progress in terms of software. Another key element of
success is creation of turnkey energy equipment for customers,” believes Mikhail Smirnov,
President of the Association of Innovative Enterprises in the Energy Industry
“EnergoInnovation”.
For his part, Matvey Airapetov,
Deputy Director of the Mechanical Engineering for Fuel and Energy Complex
Department of the Ministry for Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation,
said that the ministry was now working closely to support manufacturers of gas
turbines and installations, especially those implementing advanced domestic
developments. He also spoke about the ministry’s initiatives as part of the new
national technological project “New Atomic and Analytical Technologies”.
