On 4
October, the Russian Energy Week International Forum will host an all-Russian
meeting on the promotion of energy conservation and information transparency in
the fuel and energy industry.
Fuel
and energy is one of the Russian economy’s leading sectors, accounting for over
30% of GDP. Reliable energy supply to tens of millions of consumers and the
importance of energy for the federal budget dictate the increased public
attention to the situation in the industry. Solving large-scale investment and
production tasks, as well as their legislative support required the increased
information transparency of the fuel and energy complex. Since 2013, with the
support of the Russian Ministry of Energy, companies and regions have been
consolidating efforts to promote energy conservation, energy sector professions,
as well as social and environmental activities.
“The
fuel and energy sector is an area of the economy that every resident of our
country interacts with on the daily basis. Providing heating and electricity
for homes and workplaces, producing fuel for vehicles – that is only a small
part of the highly important issues for all our citizens, no matter what region
of Russia they live in. That is why it is very important that the consumers
have reliable information about the fuel and energy sector’s operations. A
common task for all of us – the Ministry of Energy, energy companies, the media
– is to make the industry as informationally transparent as possible,” said
Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Anton Inyutsyn, who is
going to chair the discussion.
The
meeting will be attended by representatives of energy companies, regional
ministries of energy, housing and communal services and the media. Following
the meeting, the priority topics to be covered in 2020 will be identified, and the
plan of federal events in the field of promoting energy conservation and the
energy sector information transparency will be adopted.
The
Russian Energy Week is organized by the Ministry of Energy of the Russian
Federation and the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Moscow
Government.
