The tasks of the cases were devoted to the theme of the season "Sustainable development"- said the founder and co-chairman of the International Engineering Championship "CASE-IN" Artem Korolev.

The engineering case "Energy efficiency and digitalization of the plant: a new driver of development" was devoted to energy-efficient and digital technologies for generating facilities in Russia. The case "Sustainable development of generation: an ecological vector" dealt with the issues of ecology of generating facilities. For each solution, the participants calculated the economic efficiency, implementation time and payback period.

In the engineering field, the first place was taken by the "Leaders of Change" team of PJSC Unipro, the second place was taken by the "Technokrafty" team of LLC Baikal Energy Company, and the third place was taken by the HYDROgenium team of PJSC TGC–1.

In the environmental field, the Ecogildia team of Baikal Energy Company LLC won, the VectorEco team of Unipro PJSC took the second place, and the Timur and Ecocommando team of Mosenergo PJSC took the third place.

The overall standings of the championship took into account the success of the teams in solving cases in both directions, as well as in the energy quiz on the topic of "Sustainable development".

The Baikal Energy Company was recognized as the leader of the overall standings and the champion of the Special League at the Energia shift.

The silver medalist was the national team of PJSC Unipro, and the bronze awards were awarded to PJSC TGC-1.

The shift program included lectures by analysts from the Reliable Shift Foundation, Gazprom Energoholding LLC, and teachers from partner universities of the CASE–IN championship at Kuzbass State Technical University named after T.F.Gorbachev and Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia, B.N. Yeltsin.

One of the highlights of the Special League was a master class by Artem Korolev, director of the Reliable Change Foundation, "Managed Life," dedicated to the development of personal effectiveness.

The champions and prize-winners of the Special League will have the opportunity to implement the developed solutions in their companies, and they will also enjoy career and professional growth.
