The business programme also featured 16 panel discussions, 12 roundtables, presentations of the heat supply efficiency rating and energy efficiency rating of power grid companies, the 6th Global Energy Summit, and a number of events held in the format of all-Russian conferences, sessions, meetings, and business breakfasts.
The All-Russian Energy Conservation Festival #TogetherisBrighter was held during Russian Energy Week with people signing personal declarations about their intentions to conserve energy. The festival participants wrote what kind of personal contribution they are willing to make to the common cause of taking care of energy resources. These promises were placed on a special tree, which by the end of the Forum had taken on rich “foliage”.
Russian schoolchildren also wrote wishes on treating energy resources with due care to their peers from other countries. Many of these letters were handed over to official representatives of these countries and mayors who took part in Forum’s business events.
