The participants of the event discussed the issues of interaction within the framework of the implementation of the Concept of digitalization of grids of PJSC ROSSETI in the context of the industry and individual companies. It was noted that digitalization, as one of the most global challenges of our time, requires the use of the most modern electrical equipment and technology. At the same time, given the scale of this process, it seems appropriate to use mainly the capacity of the Russian manufacturer.

In addition, a prerequisite for the successful implementation of the concept is the formation of a “digital generation” with an appropriate mentality and freely operating tools of the digital ecosystem. And also - further strengthening and expanding sustainable contacts between manufacturers and grid enterprises, the prospects of which also became the subject of close attention of the meeting participants.
