At the
Russian Energy Week, the winners and nominees of the Russian MediaTEK 2019
Competition shared their best practices in implementing information support
projects for the construction of power facilities, technology modernization,
digitalization, popularization of fuel and energy careers, programmes to nudge
customers to pay for services on time, and preventative energy safety
programmes for children. The most notable project was the Rosseti ‘Energy
Leaders’ competition.
“‘Energy Leaders’ is a competition for young
managers and one of our most notable image projects. Its goal is to identify
leading industry specialists and create a pool of managers ready to implement
large-scale projects to develop the nation's electrical grid. Over the course
of a month, over 1,800 people responsible for managing regional electrical
grids and similar subdivisions across Russia demonstrated their theoretical
knowledge and practical skills, completing various challenges online and on
location and sharing their experiences. Experts identified one hundred leading
specialists based on the results of this competition,” said Rosseti’s Director
of Information Policy and Public Relations Department Dmitriy Bobkov.
The meeting
was moderated by Assistant to the Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian
Federation Son Ir Li who highlighted the scale of the ‘Energy Leaders’
competition and proposed that fuel and energy companies’ press services should
seek to replicate this successful experiment.
The fuel
and energy companies presenting their projects included: T Plus (Territory of Childhood
with T Plus), Mosenergo (Career Counseling at the Museum. The Young Generation
Chooses Mosenergo), the OGK-2 branch Kirishskaya GRES (Career Counseling Quest
– the Reality Show ‘I Want to Be a Director’), the RusHydro branch Zhiguli
Hydropower Plant (Reserve Energy), Yakutskenergo (the television show
‘Yakutia’s Energy’), and more.
