The total volumes of electricity consumption and generation in Russia as a whole are made up of indicators of electricity consumption and generation of facilities located in the Unified Power System of Russia, and facilities operating in technologically isolated territorial power systems (Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, Kamchatka Territory, Sakhalin Oblast, Magadan Oblast, Chukotka Autonomous district). Actual performance indicators of power systems of technologically isolated territories are presented by the subjects of operational dispatch control of these power systems.
