Forums like this provide young professionals not only with knowledge but also with a clear understanding of the real challenges in the industry”, – Andrey Murov said during his opening speech.

“Future power systems are being built today and young professionals play a key role in this process. The forum at MPEI serves as a hub for idea generation, where participants discuss not only the current challenges of the industry but also its development scenarios for the next 10-20 years. We are confident that our joint efforts will make the power engineering sector more sustainable, digital and accessible”, - Nikolay Rogalev, MPEI Rector, emphasized

The forum addresses topical issues in the power industry and strategic directions for its development, including research results in operational management, system planning and energy system reliability, as well as issues related to the integration of distributed generation and power quality management. The collection of reports will be indexed in the national research and analytics system RINC. Authors of the best papers will be recommended for selection to participate in the 51st CIGRÉ Session, scheduled to take place in 2026 in Paris.
