Approved business program architecture the seventh international forum "Russian Energy Week – 2025", which will be held at the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege" in Moscow from October 15 to 17. The central theme of REW-2025 is "Creating the energy of the future together". This year, Russian Energy Week will again be held at two venues: the business program events will be held in the Central Exhibition Hall "Manege", and an exhibition of equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex will be organized in Gostiny Dvor, within the framework of which leading manufacturing companies, equipment suppliers, technology companies from all industry areas of the fuel and energy complex will present promising projects, breakthrough achievements, innovative equipment and advanced technologies. Russian Energy Week is held with the support of the Government of Russia, the Ministry of Energy of Russia and the Government of Moscow. The organizer of the forum is the Roscongress Foundation.

The business program of the forum will include about 30 events, divided into thematic blocks: "International Cooperation", "Technologies as a Key Driver of Energy Development", "Sustainable Development: Adaptation to the New Reality" and "Russia's Fuel and Energy Complex: Development Strategy". As part of the REW, the scientific and practical conference "Territory of Energy Dialogue" and the gala ceremony of the "Global Energy" award for outstanding research and scientific and technical developments that contribute to increasing the efficiency and environmental safety of energy sources on Earth in the interests of all mankind will be held. There will also be an award ceremony for the winners of the international journalism award "Energy of the Pen", designed to encourage journalists, observers and experts writing about the most pressing issues of modern energy, including the transformation of the global energy balance, the development of new technologies and climate change. Russian Energy Week will end with the traditional Youth Day.

"Over the course of its existence, REW has become a landmark international industry platform, attracting leading representatives of the fuel and energy complex, without exaggeration, from all over the world. This year's REW business program includes all the current issues of global energy development, and the exhibition of special equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy complex, which will be organized for the second time, will demonstrate the greatest achievements of Russian scientists and developers. I am convinced that the discussions within the REW business program will attract additional public attention to current issues in the fuel and energy complex, and the forum will once again bring together key participants in the Russian energy market, representatives of foreign countries and companies, officials, experts and the media to discuss the prospects for the development of the industry in changing conditions," said Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak.

One of the central topics of the upcoming Russian Energy Week will be the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Russian Government with two key priorities: providing the domestic market with energy resources and realizing the export potential. The central event of the business program will be the plenary session. Special attention will be paid to nuclear energy as part of the 80th anniversary of the industry – a large stand of nuclear industry technologies and equipment is planned to be organized at the Gostiny Dvor site.

"This year, the participants of the Russian Energy Week will discuss the first stages of implementing the Energy Strategy until 2050, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, which defines the long-term guidelines of our country for the period until 2050: development of the fuel and energy complex in the context of global challenges, energy transition, introduction of digital technologies, technological changes in general and growing energy consumption. The strategy takes into account the growth of global demand for all types of sources by 20% by 2050. Special attention will also be paid to the international aspect in the development of energy. I am confident that the Russian Energy Week will once again become the central place for the international energy dialogue that is so necessary today," emphasized Anton Kobyakov, Advisor to the President of Russia, Executive Secretary of the REW-2025 Organizing Committee.

The topic of international cooperation will occupy an important place in the program of this year's forum. The Russia-OPEC energy dialogue will be held at the REW-2025 site, with special attention paid to cooperation between Russia and Africa in the energy sector. Participants will discuss expanding cooperation between BRICS countries and ways to form a fair energy system for the SCO and ASEAN countries.

Order of July 29, 2025 No. 2030-r

The government will compensate operators of electric charging stations (ECS) for part of the costs of purchasing and technologically connecting new equipment to power grids. The order to allocate almost 5.7 billion rubles for these purposes in 2025-2027 was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

Comment

From Mikhail Mishustin's opening remarks at the operational meeting with deputy prime ministers, August 4, 2025

The subsidy will provide support for the installation of approximately 1,900 DC electric charging stations with a capacity of at least 149 kW, which are manufactured in Russia, during the implementation of the federal project “Production of Innovative Transport”.

The size of the subsidy will compensate 60% of the cost of the charging station equipment and 60% of the fee for technological connection to the power grid. At the same time, the mechanism for forming the compensation assumes the possibility of increasing its size if the investor installs charging stations with a capacity of more than 149 kW. This will become an incentive for launching electric charging stations that will be able to charge the battery of an electric vehicle faster. The funds will be distributed based on the results of a competitive selection, which will be held by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

"It is important to more actively expand the geography of such infrastructure so that owners of such cars throughout the country have the opportunity to charge them easily and conveniently. This is a key factor that stimulates demand for electric cars," Mikhail Mishustin noted, commenting on the adopted document at a meeting with deputy prime ministers on August 4.

According to plans, by 2030, 28 thousand DC charging stations with a capacity of at least 149 kW should operate on Russian roads. They allow charging an electric vehicle battery to 80% in no more than 20–30 minutes.

The work is being carried out within the framework of the new national project “Industrial Support of Transport Mobility”.

Yuri Trutnev: More than 10 trillion rubles of investment, about three thousand investment projects. How the VEF became a tool for the development of the Far East

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

The 10th anniversary Eastern Economic Forum will be held on September 3–6 in Vladivostok on the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University. Over the years, the EEF has become a full-fledged instrument for the development of the Far East and promotes the integration of the territory into the economy of the Asia-Pacific region. The forum traditionally discusses the creation and improvement of preferential regimes, the launch of new investment projects, thanks to which jobs are created, and the region becomes more attractive for living and development.

“The Eastern Economic Forum discusses the results of the commission of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin on accelerated socio-economic development of the Far East. Using state support mechanisms in the Far Eastern regions, 2.9 thousand investment projects with the total amount of declared investments of 10.6 trillion rubles are being implemented, of which 5.1 trillion rubles have already actually invested. Thanks to these new projects, 944 enterprises were introduced, more than 165 thousand jobs were created. Over ten years, investments in fixed assets in the Far Eastern Federal District grew by 99% (ahead of the average Russian indicators by 2.6 times), industrial production – by 30% (29% on average in the Russian Federation), the extraction of minerals increased by 33% (ahead of the average Russian indicators by 3.3 times). The volume of construction work increased by 107% (ahead of the average Russian indicators by 3.3 times). The Eastern Economic Forum helped the leading development of the Far East, which became one of the effective tools for the development of the Far East. It was created on behalf of the head of state as a platform to attract investments in the macroregion economy and successfully transformed into a complex development tool. Along with traditional economic tasks on the forum, special attention is paid to solving social issues – from programs of affordable housing and preferential mortgage to the development of the urban environment and supporting creative industries. Such an integrated approach demonstrates an effective model of sustainable development of the Far East, where economic dynamics is accompanied by an increase in the quality of life of the population. The Eastern Economic Forum annually unites people who seek to make life in the Far East better. The importance of such interaction is also reflected in the main topic of the VEF this year – “The Far East: cooperation in the name of peace and prosperity”. For ten years, the WEF is an integral part of the business space, where not only stable partnerships and new economic projects have been formed, but also the image of the Russian Far East – modern, technological and comfortable for life. And in this context, the forum, already having deep traditions, is undoubtedly aimed at the formation of the future, ”said Yuri Trutnev, Deputy Prime Minister of the President in the Far Eastern Federal District, Chairman of the Organizational Committee of the Eastern Economic Forum.

During the EEF, Russian President Vladimir Putin annually outlines the priorities of the international dialogue that is being built within the framework of the Asia-Pacific region, and also formulates instructions aimed at the socio-economic development of the Far East. The forum has become a platform for the formation of comprehensive contacts between interested parties, which are aimed at developing various formats of partnership and cooperation.

“The Eastern Economic Forum over the past ten years has confirmed its role as a key international platform for developing new approaches to the development of economic cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. In the context of the formation of multipolar world’s architecture, the WEF becomes an important tool for promoting mutually beneficial initiatives based on the principles of equal rights and respect for national interests. Russia consistently uses the potential of the forum to strengthen trade and economic ties with states interested in honest and mutually beneficial partnership. Of particular importance are joint projects in the areas of energy, transport infrastructure and high technologies, which are implemented with the active participation of Russian and foreign investors. VEF is seen as a strategic platform for the formation of a long -term international agenda that meets the challenges of our time. The forum allows not only to present the investment capabilities of the Far East, but also to develop new models of economic interaction free from protectionism and unilateral restrictions. The Eastern Economic Forum demonstrates its demand as a unique negotiating platform, where in practice a course is being implemented to create a fair and balanced system of international economic cooperation, ”said Anton Kobyakov, the executive secretary of the Presidential Advisor, the executive secretary of the VEF organizational committee.

A regulatory framework has been created in the Far East that has allowed the introduction of new instruments for the economic development of the region: 87 federal laws, 511 acts of the Government of the Russian Federation, 10 acts of the President of the Russian Federation have been adopted. In addition, 16 territories of advanced development, the free port of Vladivostok and other preferential regimes have been created, the work of which was discussed at the EEF. State infrastructure support for investment projects is in effect. For 2015-2024, investors received compensation for costs incurred in creating infrastructure for the implementation of investment projects in the amount of 59.2 billion rubles with a total investment from investors of more than 2 trillion rubles. The Hectare program is also in effect, thanks to which more than 148.5 thousand people in the Far East have received land.

In addition, on the instructions of the President, a set of unprecedented support measures is being implemented aimed at qualitatively improving the lives of citizens and sustainable development of the macro-region. The "Presidential Unified Subsidy" program made it possible to build and modernize about 2 thousand social facilities, including schools, kindergartens, medical institutions and sports complexes. Particular attention is paid to housing policy: more than 145 thousand families took advantage of the Far Eastern mortgage at 2%, and over 3.8 thousand large families received 1 million rubles each to pay off payments.

Large-scale infrastructure projects are being implemented: it is planned to build 137 fishing vessels and 36 fish factories, create an urban agglomeration – a satellite of Vladivostok for 200 thousand residents. An important area has become the development of the creative economy: by 2030, a network of creative clusters with a total area of 100 thousand square meters will appear in the region. These and other initiatives, including the Far Eastern Quarter program, the formation of master plans for the cities of the macroregion and the creation of a single Far Eastern airline, demonstrate the state's comprehensive approach to the development of the Far East, where economic growth is combined with an improvement in the quality of life of the population.

"Behind all the figures, indicators, concluded contracts, agreements signed at the Eastern Economic Forum, behind everything the Russian Government is working on, there is a very clear end goal – people's happiness and improving their quality of life. High-quality education, interesting and highly paid work, the best conditions for buying housing and self-realization, beautiful, comfortable and safe cities, unique nature – we have this and much more in the Far East. People come to us, stay with us, and trust us. Based on the results of last year, we observed a record influx of population – about 24 thousand people – and we really hope that this figure will only continue to grow," said Alexey Chekunkov, Minister for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic.

The Eastern Economic Forum annually brings together domestic and foreign representatives of government bodies, business, the expert community, and public organizations. The forum is a platform for Russian and foreign investors who determine the directions of economic development in the Far East.

The business events of the EEF-2025 are divided into six thematic blocks: “The Far East – a Territory for Life and Development”, “Recipes for Growth: Investments, Innovations, Integration”, “Openness and Mutually Beneficial Partnership – the Basis of Stability”, “Technologies: from Theory to Economic Effects”, “Cities – for People’s Lives”, and “Arteries of Growth: How Logistics Changes the Economy”.

The Creative Industries Forum, the Falcon Day International Forum, the Future Day Youth Forum, the APEC International Conference on Higher Education Cooperation, and the Russian Historical Society Conference are also planned. The program will also include business dialogues with China, India, Thailand, Myanmar, and ASEAN. The Far Eastern Federal District regions will present their achievements at the Far East Street exhibition, which will be held from September 3–9.

Marat Khusnullin at a meeting on water supply issues in the DPR

In Volnovakha, Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin opened a monument "In Memory of Road Heroes". It is dedicated to the heroism of workers who, at the cost of their lives, restored strategic transport arteries running through the territories of the DPR, LPR, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions.

In addition, there is a kindergarten on the route, the restoration of which is being carried out by the sponsor region – the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Yugra.

"During the work, we used construction materials from local manufacturers. For example, now during the construction of the Mariupol bypass – I flew around it and inspected how the work was deployed. There, they used the technology of using local slags that had accumulated for decades and were not used. It is important that such solutions not only speed up construction processes, but also increase the tax base, strengthening the regional economy," said Marat Khusnullin.

A program for bringing the Donetsk People's Republic's roads up to standard by 2030 was also signed. The Deputy Prime Minister noted that the DPR was the first of the four new regions to carry out such systematic work and prepare a document.

"We are fully implementing everything that concerns medium-term measures related to water transfer. The key task at the moment is saving and reducing losses in the networks. Globally, we are faced with the issue of the possibility of building an additional thread of the water pipeline to increase the capacity of the Don-Donbass Canal. We will make a decision and report to the President. Now we need to provide people with drinking water: add water trucks and tanks so that the basic minimum needs of the population are met," added Marat Khusnullin.

In the Lugansk People's Republic, the Deputy Prime Minister familiarized himself with the implementation of the housing construction program.

"I visited the construction site of the residential complex "Aviator". The developer, a participant in the free economic zone, invested its own funds and is financed by large banks. Good pace of construction, networks are connected under the federal program "Stimul". Quite competitive, low price plus mortgage at 2%. The result – out of 220 apartments, 200 have been sold to date, the infrastructure of the area is improving. In general, housing renovation is very important for improving the quality of life of people, for raising the economy," said Marat Khusnullin.

In addition, the Deputy Prime Minister held a meeting on the socio-economic development of the region. He noted that the republic has reached 29th place among all subjects of the country in terms of contracting and development of federal funds, as a result of which residents are gaining access to developed infrastructure faster.
