The federal round of MediaTEK Competition 2019 welcomed 443 applications from the country’s 54 regions. Most entries were submitted from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra (23 applications), the Irkutsk Region (21 applications), the Leningrad Region (20 applications), and the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Area (17 applications).

The most popular nomination was Social and Environmental Initiative with 55 applications submitted by the press services of regional energy companies. In light of this, the MediaTEK Expert Council decided to split the nomination into two categories, and to pick the winners in the implementation of social and charitable projects and in the field of environmental initiatives.

The Expert Council traditionally awarded a number of submissions with a Special Prize.

Among the companies, the most active were the press services of Gazprom, RusHydro, and Rosseti.

It is worth noting that apart from implementing their own projects, these participating companies actively take part in the national initiatives supported by the Russian Ministry of Energy: #BrighterTogether All-Russian Energy Conservation Festival, the All-Russian Energy Sector Companies Open Doors campaign #BrighterTogether, and the All-Russian youth operational meeting.

Gazprom Transgaz Stavropol was recognized as the best press service among federal and interregional companies in the fuel and energy sector in 2019, while Tatneft won the prize among regional companies.

An exclusive prize was also established by the award’s partner RusHydro in the special ‘Blogosphere and Energy’ category; Maxim Popov became the winner.

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.
