Tariff policy

The Rosseti Group’s companies are subject to state regulation due to their monopoly position in the market.

Tariff policy for electricity transmission services

Based on the Forecast of Social and Economic Development of the Russian Federation for 2023 and the planning period of 2024 and 2025 approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, the national average regulated tariffs for electricity transmission services for all categories of consumers is set at 9.0% as of 1 December 2022. There are two tariff levels for transmission services — federal and regional:

  • FAS of Russia approves prices (tariffs) for electricity transmission services over the Unified National (All‑Russian) Power Grid, as well as maximum and (or) minimum tariff levels for electricity transmission services
  • Regional regulatory authorities set unified ‘common pot’ tariffs for electricity transmission services within the limits of the tariff ceilings approved by the FAS of Russia, or below or over the limits upon agreement with the FAS of Russia

In accordance with Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 2053 dated 14 November 2022, the tariff level for transmission services from 1 December 2022 and for the entire 2023 calendar year is set at +9%; the tariff for electricity transmission services on the Unified National (All‑Russian) Power Grid provided by the management organisation of the Unified National (All‑Russian) Power Grid from 1 December 2022 to 30 April 2023 is set at the level of +11.5%, from 1 May 2023 to 31 December 2023, with consideration of an additional increase of 6.3% in relation to the tariffs that were in effect as of 30 April 2023, in accordance with Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1113‑r dated 28 April 2023 since 1 May 2023.

As part of the procedure for approving the exceeded tariff ceilings with the FAS of Russia for 22 regions where PJSC Rosseti’s subsidiaries operate, the regions’ applications for setting tariffs for electricity transmission services with indexation above 9% were approved.

Long‑term tariff regulation in PJSC Rosseti is based on long‑term parameters using the return on invested capital method.

All subsidiaries of PJSC Rosseti that provide electricity transmission and grid connection services also regulate their long‑term tariffs on the basis of long‑term parameters, as follows:

  • in seven regions of operation, the return on invested capital method (RAB regulation)
  • in 58 regions of operation — by the method of long‑term indexation of the required gross revenue
