However, for young specialists, this is not the final, but the next stage, the results of this league will be summed up as part of the Russian Energy Week.

The awards for the first place in the competition were presented by the Deputy Minister of Energy Anton Inyutsyn. "Today, the fuel and energy complex is one of the leading places in our economy and in the world in general. And if we talk about the Russian fuel and energy sector, then this is a huge potential and a huge complex that they are trying to push into the background, because today new technologies, robotics, digitalization, and so on are coming to the fore. But I would like to remind you that all these new technologies will require faster development of the energy industry in the first place. And it's not just the electric power industry, it's mining, transportation, and processing. These are the industries that you represent here too. This, the development of the industry, is the key to the development of our country and, most importantly– the key to the competitiveness of our country. And you are called upon to organize all this."– he said in his welcoming speech to the teams.

Especially for RusCable.Ru Leading expert of the Personnel Development Department of the Personnel Management Department JSC "SO UES" Ilya Moskvin, one of the partner companies of the competition, spoke about the results of their joint work at the championship. SO UES has been participating in the championship for the third year. He noted that the cases were indeed given by the company based on real projects and specialists are curious about a fresh look at the problem. "We work closely with universities that train students in the field of electric power engineering. And in the master's program, they go through a specialized program [compiled with the help of the company's specialists] and we hire mostly these guys for the company. But these students have good training and, of course, they participate in these cases and often become winners. This year, two of the prize–winning teams – the first and second place - consist of 70% of the guys who have passed or are undergoing our special program."- said Mr. Moskvin.
