The total volumes of consumption and generation of electricity 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 energy systems (Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, Kamchatka Territory, Sakhalin Region, Magadan Region, Chukotka Autonomous region). The actual performance indicators of the power systems of technologically isolated territories are presented by the subjects of the operational dispatch control of these power systems.
