Prospects for EnergyNet National Technology Initiative to be discussed at REW 2019

September 27, 2019

Among the events place taking place during Russian Energy Week will be a panel session on 3 October entitled EnergyNet 2.0: Priorities, Outlook, Opportunities.

Invitees to the session include Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation on Digital and Technological Development Dmitry Peskov, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation’s Committee on Energy Valery Seleznev, Deputy Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Pavel Sorokin, Director General of Rosseti Pavel Livinsky, Deputy Chairman of the Board of System Operator of the United Power System Fedor Opadchiy, and Head of Project Center for Innovation Development at the Strategic Research Center Foundation and Deputy Head of the Working Group at the Energynet National Technology Initiative Dmitry Kholkin. Moderating the session will be Oleg Grinko, Working Group Co-Head at Energynet NTI.

The EnergyNet National Technology Initiative (NTI) aims to develop smart energy services, and has been marked out as a priority in the government’s policy to develop industries of the next technological wave and secure Russia’s foothold in the markets of the future. A roadmap to achieving these goals is currently being implemented on several levels simultaneously. At the government level, this includes steps to improve the regulatory framework in order to simplify interaction between public bodies and innovative businesses.

“Thanks to the National Technology Initiative, we have been able to begin work on a vital endeavour in our country aimed at developing a framework for the future of energy. It is an absolutely critical issue, because individual technical solutions are of little use to anyone – we need comprehensive solutions which can be integrated into businesses,” said Dmitry Kholkin.

Participants at the panel session will discuss what has already been achieved in the implementation of the EnergyNet National Technology Initiative roadmap, what new technological trends have emerged in global energy markets, what challenges these trends pose to the Russian energy sector, and other pressing issues concerning digital energy today.

18 November 2024 Russian Energy Week 2025 to be held on 15–17 October

“The eighth Russian Energy Week International Forum will be held on 15–17 October in Moscow. The Energy Strategy of the Russian Federation, which facilitates the creation of benchmarks to advance the energy sector as part of the Russian economy’s transition to an innovative development path, ensures the extension of the time horizon to 2030 in accordance with the new tasks and priorities of the country’s development. Every year at REW, we have the opportunity to witness how accurate these benchmarks are, and to adjust them accordingly. The Forum will feature sessions on the efficient use of natural energy resources and the development of the energy sector’s potential for sustainable economic growth, improving the quality of life of the country’s population and helping to strengthen its international economic position. I am confident that Russia’s partners, including its new ones in the BRICS alliance, as well as the African countries which confirmed their interest in working with Russia at the recently concluded First Ministerial Conference of the Russia–Africa Partnership Forum, will play an active part in organizing and holding the Forum,” said Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the REW Organizing Committee.
