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 Energy System of Russia, and facilities operating in technologically isolated territorial energy systems (Taimyr Autonomous Okrug, Kamchatka Territory, Sakhalin Region, Magadan Region, Chukotka Autonomous District). The actual performance indicators of the energy systems of technologically isolated territories are presented by the subjects of the operational dispatch control of these energy systems
