“The fuel and energy sectors are the driving force behind economic growth and create the necessary conditions for human development and the improvement of people’s quality of life. Therefore, the energy sector must remain above politics and independent of geopolitical trends”

“Traditionally, the highlight of REW 2025 was the President’s keynote address at the plenary session of the Forum. Once again, it was underscored that the future of Russian energy is rooted in a balanced diversification of energy resources, which guarantees the smooth functioning of both the economy and social infrastructure across all regions of our country. Another vital focus continues to be the fulfillment of Russia's obligations on international energy markets. Today, it is impossible to operate in external markets without us.”  

“Russian Energy Week is a landmark event that takes place during a special period: on the one hand, it occurs at the year’s end, and on the other, during the critical autumn-winter period for energy professionals. This provides a unique opportunity not only to sum up the results and evaluate changes from the previous year, but also to generate new ideas and approaches together with colleagues. Our main task is to discuss how to confidently overcome upcoming periods of strain, advance the industry, and, most importantly, ensure a reliable energy supply for both the economy and the population.”

“We have increased the city’s lighting by 1.5 times, making Moscow one of the most illuminated cities in the world, visible even from space. At the same time, the additional energy costs were zero. In other words, we consume the same amount of electricity for city lighting as we did ten years ago. Today, we have enhanced illumination by 1.5 times without incurring additional energy capacity costs. This makes the city more convenient for both residents and businesses.”

«Russia is a great energy power, and it is energy that shapes the future growth of our nation. We face a significant challenge – to prepare 300,000 skilled professionals for the fuel and energy sector by 2030. We are interested in well-educated, motivated, and responsible specialists. Currently, more than 500 engineering classes have been established by energy companies, training around 10,500 children. The Russian engineering school is a globally recognized brand and one of the critical factors driving our technological leadership. We will continue to develop this brand in a consistent manner.»

“Throughout its 80-year history, the Russian nuclear industry has successfully developed a complete range of competencies in nuclear energy – from design and construction to decommissioning, from uranium extraction to the reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. In total, 111 nuclear power units have been built both domestically and internationally based on Soviet and later Russian designs.
Today, as nuclear energy is increasingly viewed as an essential component of the global energy balance of the future, Russia’s leadership in developing new projects in small-scale nuclear generation and fourth-generation energy systems is stronger than ever. We intend to further consolidate these positions, ensuring the energy and environmental security of the Russian Federation and maintaining our country’s leadership in the global expansion of nuclear technologies”  

“Many experts believe that we are entering the 'electricity era.' One of the key factors driving electricity consumption is the construction of powerful data centers. The development of cities and urban agglomerations, digitalization of the population, and the rapid growth of electric transportation are also of great significance. These global trends are highly relevant for our country as well.”

“Russian Energy Week is the major annual event for energy specialists, providing a platform to summarize results and share successes, expertise, and challenges. Today, the priority is not just mastering knowledge, but the capacity to learn swiftly and implement it amid technological competition. We observe a significant change: students and young professionals are now creating solutions close to industrial deployment. Skills such as systemic thinking, flexibility, and engineering courage are becoming the foundation for the sector’s workforce modernization.”  

“In recent years, we have significantly increased polymer production – nearly four times, and we see further growth potential. It is essential for us to process valuable fractions within our country and turn them into high-value products. To achieve this, we need stable conditions, our own technologies, and investment incentives.”
