The total extent of electrical power transmission lines is 121.7 thousand km, the number of substations is 805, and the class of voltage is 220–750 kV. The five-year investment program includes the construction of 73 new substations.

The switch to “clever power engineering” (Smart Grid) realized by Federal Grid Company, will make it possible not only substantially change today’s energy landscape, but also further develop the electrotechnical industry, mastering new technologies and creating new electrical equipment. Novel methods are to be incorporated both in plants and in scientific design institutes, stimulating the professional growth of Russian scientists.

In Saint-Petersburg International Economic Forum that took place some years ago, it was declared that one of the results of the conversions, conducted today by Federal Grid Company, must be the creation of the components of “intellectual networks” (Smart Grid), which will solve the existing tasks of the power electrical engineering providing for increase of effectiveness of its work and creating conditions for increasing the competitive ability of the economy of Russia on the basis of new innovation solutions and technologies.
