The winners and prize-winners of the qualifying stage were IGEU undergraduates who study in specialized programs of the System Operator.

Five teams took part in the IGEU regional stage, which was held online for the first time. As part of the unified theme of the 2020 season, "Technological Modernization", students presented their solutions to the engineering case "Technological Modernization of the energy interconnection of the CIS and Baltic countries", the materials of which were prepared by specialists of JSC SO UES. The presented results of the students' work were evaluated by an expert commission, which included leading teachers of IGEU, Kazan State Power Engineering University, Irkutsk National Research Technical University, as well as representatives of the System Operator.
