IGEU students will continue to compete for the main prizes of the season in the heat and power industry. 

Engineering cases and other tasks for students are being developed by the partners of the Championship: ALROSA JSC, United Company RUSAL JSC, Yakutsk Fuel and Energy Company PJSC, SIBUR Holding PJSC, Unified Energy System System Operator JSC, Gazprom Energoholding LLC, Metropolis LLC", PJSC ROSSETI, JSC NIPIGAZ. This year, the tasks for power engineers were on the topics of "Lean Manufacturing" and "Artificial Intelligence". 

The year 2024 was an anniversary year for IGEU – this is the 10th time the university has participated in the field of Electric Power Engineering. In honor of this event, at the opening ceremony, Vladimir Valentinovich Tyutikov, Vice-Rector for Research at IGEU, was presented with a memorable gift from the Organizing Committee of the championship. Arkady Vladislavovich Makarov, Head of the UNIRSM, and Andrey Yurievich Murzin, Dean of the EEF, also delivered welcoming words and parting words to the participants.
