The City That Never Sleeps: Energy Fellows’ Journey to Moscow 💡 What fuels a city of 13 million people? Our InteRussia specialists in energy set out to find the answer and uncovered an electrifying story hidden in the pulse of Moscow. Over several days, they stepped into the control rooms, tunnels, and innovation hubs that keep the capital running. These are the places Moscow unlocked for them: ➖ At the System Operator of the Unified Energy System, the fellows watched dispatchers orchestrate electricity flows across 11 time zones, predicting demand before it happens. ➖ They explored the Moscow Metro’s precision clockwork, the Moscow Traffic Control Center’s giant maps, and an electric bus charging station where the city’s future hums quietly into life. ➖ Inside Transneft’s headquarters, they stood at the nerve center of Russia’s oil pipeline network and traced that lifeline back through decades of history. ➖ They discovered the intelligent power supply scheme of the Skolkovo 220 kV underground substation — buried 12 meters below the surface — one of Rosseti Group’s most science-intensive projects. From the humming grids deep underground to the bustling pulse of the city, Moscow revealed its secrets to our fellows. Now it’s their turn to bring the energy to life.
