Without a stable energy source, it is impossible to build a powerful state. Working in the energy sector means contributing to the development of our country. After all, the work you do benefits every family and every person in our country. Providing light and heat to every home is a responsible job. I express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your hard work, - said the Head of State. The President also emphasized the importance of using resources wisely and called on citizens to approach this issue responsibly. – Electricity, heat and water are essential goods for life. It is better to save them all and use them wisely. This is a common requirement for the entire economy. Wastefulness cannot be tolerated. It is not for nothing that our people say that “Thrift is the key to prosperity.” We must turn this sacred national habit into a completely new culture in society. Your tireless efforts are an unshakable guarantee of our country’s energy independence.

In line with global trends, new “data centers” are being built and a “cloud” infrastructure is being formed. All this will be a big challenge for the energy sector.
