Strategy

Development strategy for the Unified national electric grid (UNEG) (hereafter referred to as – Strategy) for the decennial period is crafted once every five years. The primary document in Strategy is UNEG Development Concept, which identifies fundamental problems in grid development and conceptually outlines tendencies for performance improvement and sustainable development of UNEG. The main design and scientific-research institute in the industry, as well as leading organizations in the Russian Academy of Sciences which conduct business in the electric power industry are involved in Strategy design.

The wide range of documents is used for Strategy design. These are applicable laws regulating activities in the electric power industry, subordinate legal acts adopted by the of Government Russian Federation and relevant ministries and authorities, resolutions made by Boards of Directors and Management Boards in JSC RAO “UES of Russia” and JSC FGC UES, as well as socio-economic documents of different administrative level. Works on power industry outlook and analysis of scientific-and-technological advance guidelines in the industry find application as well.

Nowadays the Strategy determines the main five target tendencies in UNEG development: in area of the electric power industry, in fuel and energy complex, in ecology, in policy and in area of geopolitical interests.

Strategic objectives of UNEG development are accomplished by JSC FGC UES. The key development goals in JSC FGC UES are as follows:

  • develop electric grids;
  • provide power plants capacity;
  • arrange conditions for reliable power supply of consumers;
  • cope with fixed assets ageing;
  • develop centralized technological control for electric grids;
  • create grid and technological infrastructure;
  • join participants of wholesale market to the electric grid;
  • bring UNEG technical level to world standards;
  • raise operating performance through reduction of costs, unit costs incidental to operation and losses in UNEG grids;
  • implement unified strategy in area of investments and capital raising.

JSC FGC UES solves a number of tasks to achieve the goals to be sought:

  • restructuring in the electric grid complex;
  • provide reliable technological performance and development of UNEG;
  • capital construction management;
  • management of scientific and technological support for UNEG development and effective performance;
  • good corporate governance and legal groundwork for UNEG performance.
