In his address to the audience, Alexander Suslov, director of the Penza branch of “T Plus,” stressed that “the energy field is the backbone of the backbones for the industry and the country as a whole.”

“It is impossible to imagine modern life without electricity, without heating, that we supply to ourselves and our city,” he said.

Currently, the field experiences certain issues that affect the industry as well, Alexander Suslov added; however, he said he believes they will be resolved thanks to professional skill and dedication of the workers.

“I believe we will make it, as you have great experience,” stressed the head of the Penza branch.

He also pointed out that one of the biggest present issues that affects “T Plus” is the lack of payment for supplied power.

“This places additional burden on us – to maintain the equipment in working condition, supply power and heating to citizens and industries, with as less expenses as possible,” Alexander Suslov said.

The Penza branch director wished his colleagues to stay healthy and lucky, be happy in their families and earn a worthy income.

Among the guests of the event who congratulated the energy workers with the upcoming professional holiday was Ivan Krasnov, deputy chairman of the Penza city Duma.

“You dedicate your life to an important task – keeping our houses and factories powered and warm. The energy field always was, is, and probably will be for a long time the core component in the economy of our country and a plethora other nations. Your work and dedication help resolve vital objectives,” he stressed.

In spite of all obstacles, the staff of “T Plus” successfully achieves the tasks, Ivan Krasnov added.

“I wish you and your families to stay healthy and believe in the future. May your work be successful and without incidents,” the City Duma deputy chairman said.

During the event, the best workers of the company received letters of gratitude from the Russian Energy Ministry, the Penza region governor, and the regional Legislative Assembly.

Moreover, the best workers received diplomas from “T Plus,” the mayor and the city head.

The official part was followed by a concert.
