Rais of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov met Russian Energy Minister Sergey Tsivilev at the international forum Russian Energy Week. The main topic was modernising the republic's generating capacities and its electrical grid complex, according to the press service of the Rais of Tatarstan.

The two officials stressed the importance of further developing the production of energy equipment at enterprises in the republic, as well as the certification of finished products. They also noted the need to form a long-term order.
