From October 2 to 5, 2019, Izolyator took part in the work of the International Forum ‘Russian Energy Week’, which was held in Moscow.

Russian Energy Week International Forum was established by order of the Russian Government.

The Forum was attended by heads of state and governments, CEOs of major international energy companies and organizations as well as leading global experts from among representatives of science, the media, and civil society.

Among the participants of this forum were the leaders of the largest Russian and foreign energy companies, leading world experts.

More than 70 business events were held as part of the official REW program. Sessions were devoted, in particular, to the digital transformation of the industry, the development of the coal mining market, nuclear energy, and new pricing trends in international oil markets.

The main topics of discussion were digitalization, the replacement of traditional generation with renewable energy sources (RES), and the complexity of the market structure.

The participants of the session noted that the trends formed in the industry are often in clear contradiction to each other. In particular, the role of distributed generation and renewable energy is growing, but due to the constant change in the load structure, the operation of electric networks at all voltage levels is more complicated and planning for their development is difficult.

On the sidelines of the forum Izolyator commercial service held a series of meetings with representatives of leading world energy companies and electrical enterprises.
