Communicating with power engineers continued with a tour to the museum of history of the Tambov power system. Students learned about the best employees, veterans-power engineers, who contributed to the development of the power system. Young people were impressed by the collection of cups and medals obtained at different sports events in different years. Particular interest was paid to the story about the chief of Kirsanovsky service area of high-voltage substation Office of IDGC of Centre — Tambovenergo division Igor Glotov, who had recently awarded the honorary title “Honored Power Engineer of Russia”.

It is important for us to show that the utilities industry today is a modern developing industry. The task of Open Doors Days at the division is to keep and maintain respect for the profession of power engineers, to show the younger generation that the work of power engineers is not only responsible, but also prestigious.
