Its introduction was prompted by the fact that the existing tariff regulation Its introduction was prompted by the fact that the existing tariff regulation system prevents distribution grid companies from meeting the growing system prevents distribution grid companies from meeting the growing demand for connection to the energy grid because of material restrictions on demand for connection to the energy grid because of material restrictions on tariff increases. tariff increases. The basis of the scheme is as follows: anybody who wants to be connected to The basis of the scheme is as follows: anybody who wants to be connected to the grid shall bear all the costs required for the increase in the Energo-JSC’s the grid shall bear all the costs required for the increase in the Energo-JSC’s grid capacity. The amount of the connection fee is calculated on the basis of grid capacity. The amount of the connection fee is calculated on the basis of the region’s mid-term demand for grid capacity increase. Currently, such a fee the region’s mid-term demand for grid capacity increase.

It is expected that during 2010–12 there will be a gradual transition from the ‘Costs + ’ It is expected that during 2010–12 there will be a gradual transition from the ‘Costs + ’ method of regulating tariffs for electricity transmission via the distribution grid, to the method of regulating tariffs for electricity transmission via the distribution grid, to the ‘Return on Regulatory Asset Base’ (RAB) method. ‘Return on Regulatory Asset Base’ (RAB) method. The RAB method is aimed at providing full return of funds invested into company assets The RAB method is aimed at providing full return of funds invested into company assets during the period determined to correspond to asset service-life, and at normalised during the period determined to correspond to asset service-life, and at normalised revenue earning, the level of which is set by the Government, and which shall revenue earning, the level of which is set by the Government, and which shall correspond to the RSK’s risk profile and its sector prominence to investors.correspond to the RSK’s risk profile and its sector prominence to investors.

These ratios are not dependent on the existing tariff-formation system, specifics of Russian accounting, degree of capacities loading, but they take into account a potential growth in the amount of electric power transmitted and change in tariff regulation.

•capitalization/amount of power transmitted: EV/El.sales

• capitalization/population of serviced territory: EV/Resident

Main reasons of growth:• improved corporate management • changed tariff regulation, changing-over to RAB • implementation of investment program • positive effect of joining RSK and MRSK
