For 2012, IDGC holding combines interregional and regional distribution power grid companies (IDGC/RSK), research and design institutes, construction and sales organizations in its structure. 97 branches of IDGC/RSK are located on the territory of 69 constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

2008: Establishment of IDGC Holding LLC

On June 30, 2008, the process of reorganization of RAO UES of Russia OJSC was completed. As a result of the reorganization of RAO UES of Russia, IDGC Holding OJSC was created by separation.

On July 01, 2008, an entry was made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities on the creation of IDGC Holding OJSC by reorganization in the form of an allocation.

The process of allocating network companies is completed. All 56 backbone network companies have been created on the basis of reorganized AO-energo.

The structure of the power industry in 2000

The main goal of reforming the electric power industry in Russia is to increase the efficiency of enterprises in the industry, create conditions for its development based on stimulating investment, and ensure reliable and uninterrupted energy supply to consumers.

In this regard, radical changes took place in the electric power industry of Russia: the system of state regulation of the industry changed, a competitive electricity market was formed, new companies were created.

Image:Структура отрасли электроэнергетики России в 2000-м году.png

During the reform, the structure of the industry changed: there was a separation of natural monopoly (transmission of electricity, operational dispatch management) and potentially competitive (production and sale of electricity, repair and service) functions, and instead of the previous vertically integrated companies that performed all these functions, structures specializing in certain types of activities were created.

Companies formed during the reform are enterprises specialized in certain types of activities (generation, transmission of electricity and others) and controlling the relevant specialized assets. In terms of the scale of specialized activities, the created companies exceed the previous monopolies of the regional level: new companies unite specialized enterprises in several regions, or are all-Russian.

Thus, conditions are created for the development of a competitive electricity market, the prices of which are not regulated by the state, but are formed on the basis of supply and demand, and its participants compete, reducing their costs.

The goals and objectives of the reform are determined by the Government Decree of July 11, 2001 No. 526 "On the Reform of the Electric Power Industry of the Russian Federation."

Taking into account the subsequent changes in the regulatory framework, the goals and objectives of the reform were specified in the "Concept of Strategy of RAO UES of Russia" for 2005-2008. "5 + 5."

Industry Target Structure

Backbone networks came under the control of the Federal Network Company, distribution networks are integrated into interregional distribution network companies (IDGCs), the functions and assets of regional dispatch departments were transferred to the All-Russian System Operator.

Image:Целевая структура отрасли электроэнергетики России 2005.png

Generation assets are also combined into interregional companies, with two types: wholesale market generating companies (wholesale generating companies - OGK) and territorial generating companies (TGK). OGK combines power plants specialized in the production of almost exclusively electric energy. TGC mainly includes thermal power plants (CHPPs), which produce both electrical and thermal energy. Six of the seven OGKs are formed on the basis of thermal power plants, and one (RusHydro) is based on hydrogenation assets. Thermal OGKs are built on an extraterritorial basis, while TGCs combine the stations of neighboring regions.

1980-90s: Prerequisites for reforming the electric power industry

Back in the 1980s, the country's electricity industry began to show signs of stagnation: production capacities were updated noticeably slower than electricity consumption grew.

In the 1990s, during the general economic crisis in Russia, the volume of electricity consumption decreased significantly, while the process of capacity renewal practically stopped.

The overall situation in the industry was characterized by the following indicators:

  • In terms of technological indicators (specific fuel consumption, average equipment efficiency, operating capacity of stations, etc.), Russian energy companies lagged behind their analogues in developed countries.

  • There were no incentives to increase efficiency, rational planning of electricity production and consumption regimes, and energy saving.

  • Power outages occurred in some regions, an energy crisis was observed, and there was a high probability of major accidents.

  • There was no payment discipline, non-payments were widespread.
  • The enterprises of the industry were informational and financial "not transparent."
  • Market access was closed to new, independent players.

All this caused the need for transformations in the electric power industry, which would create incentives to improve the efficiency of energy companies and allow a significant increase in investment in the industry. Otherwise, with the further expansion of foreign economic cooperation, Russian enterprises would lose the economic competition not only in foreign markets, but also in the country's domestic market.
