History

In 2001, the Government of Russia reformed the Unified Energy System of Russia to create a unified national energy network, which includes a system of trunk lines, uniting most regions. For its operation, the Federal Grid Company (FGC UES) was created.

In November 2001, the Board of Directors of RAO UES defined the stages of creation of FGC UES. The company was established on 25 January 2002 as a subsidiary of RAO UES.[3] The charter capital of UES FGC was 127 billion roubles. It was paid in cash and by transmission grids owned by RAO UES. UES FGC was registered on 25 June 2002.

On 1 July 2008, FGC UES was divided off from RAO UES. At the same time, a single operating company was created by merging with 54 companies operating transmission systems of former regional power utilities.[4] In November 2012, the majority of the company (79.55%) was transferred to the state-controlled holding company Rosseti.

FGC UES owns, operates and supervises 142,000 kilometres (88,000 mi) of the transmission grids in Russia. It also provides services to the wholesale electricity market in Russia. It owns an 8.57% stake in the energy company Inter RAO.
