10.00-11.30 Meeting of Managers of Unified Information and Settlement Centers Green Hall To facilitate calculating and reviewing utility charges, provide information follow-up on municipal charges, facilitate accounting and collection of charges for using residential and non-residential space, and other utility charges and their sharing and make those most convenient for country citizens, Unified Information and Settlement Centers have been organized in the RF regions (UI&SC).
Consolidating huge volumes of information on charges, payments and debts requires building a high-quality unified database that would provide a transparent scheme of charging for housing/municipal services. UI&SC systems should present a convenient and socially focused system of payments for residents and reduce time and money spent on data processing and informing charge payers.
How to make collection and payment splitting system more transparent? How to increase payment collection from population? How to optimize costs of providing unified payment documents to payers (i.e., legitimate electronic accounts)?

Break 12.00-13.15 Meeting of electric grid companies Chief Engineers Green Hall Providing reliable service in all conditions, regardless of weather or anthropogenic factors, is the basis for activities of any grid company chief engineer. While solving that task the chief engineer is limited by lack of capital investment on the one hand, and need to reduce specific operational cost of grid maintenance, on the other hand. While understanding the inevitable need of better savings and capital investments reduction, one still has to think ahead. The question arises, what will be the future of electric grids? What will be required to operate them? Will the technologies progress to a qualitatively new level? Efficient equipment is more expensive but comes much cheaper operation-wise. And if one thinks about the grids of tomorrow, if one thinks about the consumer of tomorrow, the issue of economy should be dealt with reasonably. Oftentimes cheaper doesn’t mean better for the future.
What engineering and management solutions are used across the industry today to resolve such issues? What useful lessons were learned from getting prepared for the autumn-winter season? Are any good practices available that should be adopted throughout the industry?

14.00-15.15 Panel discussion Hall of Presidium “Deepening and institutionalizing energy cooperation within the scope of BRICS: is there a need to start a BRICS energy agency?”
Lately there has been an active discussion going on in the global financial circles concerning the launch of bilateral Russian-Chinese rating agency or similar multilateral entities within the scope of BRICS and SCO. The rating agencies shall not be politically bound by separate states or economic interests of major corporations. The Asian Bank of Infrastructural Investments was founded to add to the existing international financial architecture. Creating new independent international development institutes has become an indisputable trend in cooperation between the countries that play an incremental role in world economy.
The energy domain plays as important a role in the life of the planet and economic development of the countries. In the conditions of highly volatile global prices for energy resources, expanding practices of international law violation, introduced restrictive measures and sanctions in energy sector, the leaders of BRICS countries have noted the need to deepen and institutionalize energy cooperation within the scope of BRICS.
Is there a need to start a joint organization in form of an institute, association or agency that would deal with the issues of forecasting energy consumption, upgrading energy efficiency around the world, generating development scenarios for the global energy system and promoting energy safety and security and sustainable economic development of BRICS countries?
Discussion participants: Senior executives of BRICS countries power industry Ministries Representatives of BRICS countries oil and gas companies Independent international experts and analysts

Reliable and efficient functioning of electric power plants depends on numerous factors. At this meeting we expect to discuss urgent issues that power plant chief engineers are facing now and consider best practices in solving them. Consider for example the task of operating gas-turbine equipment, the charges for its scheduled inspections/repairs nominated in hard currency. These may run to 50-150% of the price of brand new installation during the full service life of such equipment. How do Russian companies cope with their maintenance tasks in the current economic environment, complicated as it is? What technical and organizational decisions have demonstrated best results in operating power plant equipment?

14.00-15.15 Panel discussion Red Hall “Investments in developing power supply systems in large cities of the Russian Federation: best practices and key challenges”
Urbanization is one of the global key trends, Russia being no exception to it. Long-term planning of the development of large cities, megacities in particular, faces serious challenges, the “power-engineering infrastructure bottleneck” occupying its rightful place among them. Unfortunately, Russian cities lack well- developed long-term master plans that would combine the issues of spatial, economic, social and cultural development into a single system.
Under these conditions the urban power-engineering infrastructure is in need of strategic development programs as opposed to limited fragmentary solutions. The situation is aggravated by the current state of that infrastructure which is worn out to the extreme, and the practice of sticking to obsolete technologies in urban power-engineering systems. How can one overcome such situation?
What are best foreign and Russian practices in developing urban power-engineering infrastructure? What holds back investments into developing power supply systems for large cities of the Russian Federation? What cities will become the pioneering “smart cities” in Russia? How should “clean technologies” be integrated into the existing power supply schemes of such cities?

14.00-15.15 Panel Discussion Auction house “Energy Industry of the Future”
Energy industry developed quite conservative in many aspects as compared to other industries. Minor structural changes began in the late 19th century, when power grids were created and first power plants built. Few world leaders considered the production aspect, transmission and distribution of energy, integrated strategic development of power industry. Traditionally, management of energy complex allowed for long-term planning of established companies. Consumption was increasing in proportion to GDP, often being the natural monopoly business.
However, the situation is changing. A number of developments and significant changes is causing revolutionary shifts in the way electricity, being a critical business resource and a source of comfort, is generated, transmitted and distributed, stored, and delivered to consumers.
The global trend indicates the transition from centralized hierarchical to distributed interactive systems. Power generation moves from carbon-intensive to low- or even zero-carbon level. In many regions of the world, power generation is transformed from a monopoly to a highly diversified and competitive market. Until now, many consumers had no opportunity to choose a supplier.
The global trend indicates the transition to the choice of potential suppliers of energy and services, and, moreover, to the choice of the energy supply concept, taking into account the opportunities provided by a combination of renewables, storage systems, local generation, and energy source types. Technology offers consumers more independence, and even provides business opportunities for independent energy generation. To what extent are the future projections incorporated into development plans of the industry? What technologies do we need to be focused on in the next 10 years? What are the today's investments that may be lost in 10-15 years?

16.00-17.15 Panel discussion Green Hall Developing the Infrastructure in Sparsely Populated and Remote Areas: New Service Standards and Investment Sources
One of the main social and economic tasks of regional administrations of the RF Government is providing local population with the necessary infrastructure in road, energy, bank, post, telecommunication, etc. However, low population density in certain regions results in excessive costs in infrastructure maintenance.
Modern technologies alleviate some of that problem. Meanwhile, introducing new technologies often implies changing service standards and involves considerable investments, so that infrastructural organizations fail to break even or make profit in their operations in the result. Both the federal government and the regions continue subsidizing such infrastructural services.
What technical solutions will make it possible to progress to effective servicing of sparsely populated and remote areas? What should be done to attract investments into that sphere? What is the fair price of infrastructural services and who will pay for those?

16.00-17.15 Panel Discussion Red Hall "Distributed generation - the best practices of implementation of projects and ways of improving legislation"
Many regions of the world feature excessive generation and transmission capacities, outdated and inefficient oftentimes. The paradigm change involves progressing from focus on capacity build-up to focus on economically most efficient flexible solutions that meet customer needs. We witness the dawn of a new epoch when advanced technologies and customer demands combine to shape prerequisites for thorough revision of the sector structure.
One of the directions in which power-engineering is developing globally is distributed generation parallel to using the existing networks; provided co-generation module is available, it may turn into a highly efficient source of electric energy and heat, promote better use of raw materials and decrease production costs.
What are the main directions for improving the market of distributed generation? What are best practices in implementing such projects at industrial enterprises and municipalities? What should the regulations be to make distributed generation simpler and more transparent, not isolating it from regular grids while providing for its best general effect?

16.00-17.15 Panel discussion Hall housing and utilities “Will energy efficiency of a house pay back: the outlook of builder and owner”
Combining modern architectural and engineering solutions in capital construction, refurbishment and capital repairs opens enormous possibilities in lowering energy consumption and increasing the level of comfort of residential and non-residential housing. However the principal criterion in selecting residential housing in Russia is its minimum price. The same approach is pursued when placing orders on capital construction and repairs for state and municipal needs, as well as when assessing the work of construction sector as a whole.
During the last few years many energy saving technologies have advanced from exclusive to commonly affordable. Which capital construction technologies of today make it possible for users to start saving on energy bills and residential repairs and improve their level of comfort and how efficient are such solutions in the Russian environment? Has the time come to change the overall approach and start assessing residential housing and housing in general by their life cycle costs,and what will it cost to users and capital construction industry in general?
What measures in state policy could change the situation and produce stimuli for implementing new technologies and materials improving energy efficiency? Should the budget sector become a leader in energy efficiency and will specialized entities for managing real estate help improve the motivation of the budget sector for energy efficient solutions? Is it possible to attract private investment for improvement in energy efficiency of buildings, who may become such an investor and what mechanisms may be used for that?

The scope of necessary investments to improve energy efficiency in HCS reaches over 10 trillion Rubles. The limited availability of budget funds prevents solving HCS problems without attracting non-budgetary sources of financing. To improve investment attractiveness of HCS objects at the federal level new tools were developed: concession legislation was updated, a new Federal Law on private-public partnership was adopted.
Despite the growing number of concession agreements concluded in the HCS sphere (which has grown by 5 more times over the last year), the amount of attracted non-budgetary financing and the quality of respective projects call for thinking them over and adjusting some of the approaches. One needs to build the dialogue between the regional authorities and potential investors, intensify private-public partnership and make it more efficient.
What regional and project experience could be replicated? Do investors and regions believe that the entire regulatory and legislative base needed to attract investments is already in place or do we need some other systemic solutions?

10.00-11.30 Panel discussion Red Hall “Management Efficiency in Power Sector Companies in Stressful Conditions”
Power sector companies are flagships of Russian economy, which have recently found themselves in stormy weather, with winds blowing from several directions. Large oil and gas companies are experiencing the unfavorable developments on the international market. As the purchasing power falls, consumers are becoming increasingly more sensitive to tariffs, and the state tries to keep them down. Generation and grid companies at the same time experience the pressure of inflation coupled with decreased purchasing power of consumers. These different pressures and challenges are, in fact, nothing new for Russia and the rest of the world. The fuel and energy sector has gone through these crises before.
How does the stressful situation reflect on the system of management in the power sector? Should the power sector be changing its priorities when there is no money for growth? What lessons can be learned from the history of such stressful situations before? What is the most interesting experience of other countries in such a situation? Are Russian management practices of managing power companies in any way different? What are some important management differences in state-controlled companies?

12.00.13.15 Panel discussion Hall housing and utilities Internet of things: transforming data into efficiency
According to Gartner Research Company, the recognized world leader in the IT market research, one of the main technological trends for the next decade will be the Internet of Things (the Internet of “things”).
The Internet of “things” is the concept of organizing physical objects (“things”) into computer networks with built-in technologies that would make them capable of interacting with each other and the environment. Building such networks is believed to reshape economic and public processes and exclude the need for humans to take part in certain activities.
In practice such an approach has already made possible a number of noteworthy projects in managing urban power systems and automating industrial and household processes. Implementing that concept effectively sets high identification, measurement, data transfer and processing standards in both hard- and software and information security systems.
What does the Internet of Things mean for the efficiency of present-day power-engineering? Is the use of big data arrays and the Internet of “things” in power-engineering a source of added value or a myth? Is creating a unified information field in country-wide and regional power industry possible? Which global expertise in working with big data arrays may be applied successfully to Russia, and which may not? What is the potential of Russia as one of the leaders in developing IT-technologies for power-engineering? Can energy efficient technologies function separately from information systems?
