Speaking at the closing ceremony, Oleg Budargin said:

"The electric power industry of the 21st century is a highly intelligent industry with new approaches to servicing the grid infrastructure and the relationship between participants in the process of generation, transmission, distribution and consumption of electricity. In order to ensure uninterrupted power supply to consumers, it is necessary to have modern equipment and a highly professional team. Accordingly, grid companies train personnel in a new way, because every power engineer must be ready to service any modern equipment using digital technologies and innovative solutions. Competitions of professional skills are a great way for power engineers not only to test their strengths and skills in conditions that are as close to real as possible, but also to exchange experience with colleagues from other regions and adopt some breakthrough methods for solving emerging problems and issues."
