Analysis of operating results
The Rosseti Group’s core business involves the provision of electricity transmission and distribution services, as well as grid connection services
Power transmission
In 2023, the volume of electricity supplied to the grid by the Rosseti Group increased by 1.15% compared to 2022, totalling 874.8 billion kWh. The main reason behind the growth is an increase in electricity consumption by consumers.
The volume of electricity transmitted in 2023 increased by 1.19% compared to 2022, amounting to 799.1 billion kWh. The main reason behind the growth is an increase in electricity consumption by consumers. In 2024, electricity transmission is projected to increase on account of the projects implemented by the Rosseti Group to consolidate power grid assets.
The relative level of electricity losses in 2023 was 8.65% of electricity delivery to the grid, which is 0.09 p.p. below the planned level and 0.04 p.p. below the 2022 level. At the same time, losses exceeded the previous year’s figure by 576 million kWh, which is associated with the consolidation of power grid assets implemented by the Rosseti Group.
Reducing electricity losses is a top priority for the Rosseti Group. Every power grid company of the Rosseti Group takes steps to lower losses.
The key areas of loss reduction measures are as follows:
- Preventing off‑the‑meter electricity consumption
- Improving the efficiency of grids and power facilities by renovating and reconfiguring grids, as well as reducing power consumption for own needs
To prevent off‑the‑meter consumption, the Rosseti Group’s companies have been installing modern electricity consumption metering devices in recent years.

— The Rosseti Group is in charge of more than 20 million points of fiscal and technical electricity metering. About a third of them (6.8 million points) are equipped with modern metering devices. In 2023 alone, about 1.3 million devices were installed and verified, including almost 1.2 million metering points equipped with smart meters.
The expansion of the smart metering system is aligned with the adopted amendments to the Federal law “On Electricity”, according to which, since 1 July 2020, consumers do not have to buy meters and pay for their installation. This is now covered by energy companies — guaranteeing suppliers and grid operators. From 1 January 2022, the metering system is based on smart meters only. The equipment meets the requirements of the Rules for Providing Access to the Minimum Set of Functions of Electric Power (Capacity) Smart Metering Systems approvedResolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 890 dated 19 June 2020. by the Russian Government.
‘Smart’ metering allows us to reduce electricity losses and operating costs, as well as to improve payment discipline, while giving our customers accurate information about their electricity consumption and, consequently, an instrument to manage it.
— Rosseti is working hard to create an intelligent electricity metering system. How many smart meters have already been installed? What impact do these efforts have on customers and the grid sector?
Grid Connection
In general, the Rosseti Group shows a slight year‑on‑year decrease in the main grid connection indicators for 2023, which is explained by a lower demand driven down as the amendments to the laws of the Russian Federation came into force on 1 July 2022, regarding the amount of payment for grid connections for applicants of the up to 150 kW category.
Improving the quality of grid connection services
Effective and successful customer relations are a priority for the Rosseti Group’s companies. To this end, the Company applied a customer‑centric approach to its business processes, supported by the Uniform Quality Standards for Customer Service of the Rosseti Group’s companiesMinutes of the Management Board of PJSC Rosseti No. 25 dated 23 May 2023. approved the Management Board of PJSC Rosseti.
For the convenience of consumers, the Group has the following channels of interaction:
- Face‑to‑face service offices
- Power engineers’ hotline called Bright Line 220 with federal number 8‑800‑220‑0‑220
- Digital services of PJSC Rosseti’s power grid portal (grid connection (GC) portal)
- Mobile application Rosseti — My Account
- Light Country portal
Based on customer needs and high demand for digital technologies, the Group transforms processes and introduces digital services, e.g., more than 50 services and facilities for consumers, grid operators and sales organisations were digitised on the GC Portal. In 2023, electronic services were upgraded and the functionality of the GC Portal was expanded as it comes to grid connections and additional services, as well as smart metering services.
To improve the accessibility of energy infrastructure and ensure uniform standards of electronic interaction, the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services (Functions) offers the service on Rosseti grid connection of power receivers, which covers all regions where the Rosseti Group operates. PJSC Rosseti helped to connect third‑party LGOs to the Unified Portal via the GC Portal. As of the end of 2023, the Rosseti Group received 448,000 grid connection applications through the digital services of the GC and the Unified Portal of State and Municipal Services (Functions).
