Russia initiated restructuring and liberalisation of its electric power sector in the early 2000s. The first steps included the liberalisation of power prices but that process did not include the household segment, where prices remain regulated. Another major step was the government’s decision to restructure the power monopoly United Energy Systems of Russia (RAO-UES) by splitting its assets into smaller companies, some of which were offered for privatisation, enabling foreign companies such as E.ON, Enel and Fortum to enter the market. Still, as of end-2017, the state remains in control of most of the power generating capacities and owns the transmission grid.
