Recently, our ASEAN fellows experienced Russia’s energy landscape firsthand, feeling the pulse of substations, observing how infrastructure responds to demand, and seeing how technology and policy work seamlessly together. Here’s what their journey looked like.
The fellows met with global leaders at the XVIII International Scientific and Practical Conference “Energy of the XXI century: Economy, Policy, Ecology,” dove into energy policy through open conversation with Alexey Kulapin, General Director of the Russian Energy Agency, and explored emerging trends alongside the Russia-ASEAN Business Council and the Global Energy Association.
From massive operations at Transneft, Rosseti, and the Skolkovo Innovation Center to the cutting-edge Intelligent Digital Network Lab and Neva Waste Processing Facility, our participants witnessed how data, automation, and sustainability converge in real time.
They stepped into energy logistics on the ground at Gorelectrotrans, Zifergauz, and a Gazprom Neft fueling station in St. Petersburg, then toured the Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant, gaining a close-up view of advanced nuclear operations in action.
Learning also meant immersing in culture: from the Smolny Museum and meetings with city officials to the Hermitage, Mariinsky Theatre, and the Atom Museum — a deep dive into Russia’s history, science, and art.
The program once again showed that energy isn’t just wires and machines — it’s curiosity that sparks innovation, teamwork that turns challenges into solutions, and connections that carry knowledge across borders.
The InteRussia fellowship in energy sector for ASEAN specialists is implemented by the Mezhdunarodniki Autonomous Non-Profit Organisation in cooperation with the Gorchakov Fund, Saint Petersburg State University of Economics, Russia-ASEAN Business Council, Global Energy Association, and Russian Energy Agency with the grant support from the Presidential Grants Foundation.
