The message reads, in part:
“The approval of the GOELRO Plan was a significant and truly historic event for our country. Largely due to the selfless work of scientists, engineers, builders, and specialists, a modern and effective power-generating system was created within a short timeframe. This system became a reliable foundation for the development of regions and strategic sectors of the national economy, the strengthening of the defence-industrial complex, and the resolution of large-scale issues in the social sphere.
I am pleased to note that the present generation of power industry workers cherishes and promotes the constructive traditions of their predecessors, working honestly and with great dedication. Today, your key priorities include upgrading the grid infrastructure, expanding generating capacities, and introducing digital and resource-saving technologies across the board. The recently approved Power Strategy of the Russian Federation for the Period until 2050 is aimed at achieving these targets.
I am confident that you will continue to carry out your professional duties honourably and make a significant contribution to the strengthening of Russia’s technological sovereignty.”
