Order No. 373-r of February 26, 2026

Accelerating the transition of Russia's fuel and energy sector to a new technological level through the use of domestic digital technologies is the primary goal of the updated strategic direction for the digital transformation of the fuel and energy sector through 2036. Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin signed the order approving this document.

A priority in addressing this challenge will be the use of Russian base and application software in systems supporting core production and management processes at energy sector enterprises and organizations. By 2030, this figure should reach 80% across the industry.

Another important area of work will be the participation of fuel and energy companies and organizations in cybertesting aimed at identifying vulnerabilities and developing methodological recommendations for protecting sensitive information. By 2030, at least 100 companies and organizations should participate in this effort, and by 2036, this number should increase to 500. Based on the test results, a cyber resilience rating for fuel and energy companies will be compiled.

Along with cyber resilience testing, artificial intelligence technology and other digital solutions in the energy and fuel and energy sectors are also planned for testing. The tests will be conducted at a dedicated industry testing facility, scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter of 2027.

Achieving the goals and objectives set by the strategic direction is impossible without training qualified personnel. To this end, the strategic program for the development of school energy classes, "Russian Engineering School – 2030," is planned to be launched at the end of 2027. Its goal is to establish cooperation between schools, secondary and higher educational institutions, and industry companies.

The strategic directions for the digital transformation of key economic and social sectors are sectoral strategic planning documents developed by the Government at the direction of the President. They are aligned with existing state programs and national projects and are approved for the period up to 2036. To ensure the documents remain relevant, they may be amended annually.
