Recall that from January 1, 2023, a new model for planning the long-term development of the electric power industry was introduced. In accordance with it, the System Operator became the center of responsibility for the long-term planning of the industry. His responsibilities included the development of two program documents - the General Scheme for the Location of Electricity Facilities for 18 years and the Scheme and Program for the Development of Electric Power Systems of Russia (SPDR) for 6 years with the inclusion in the latter of plans for the development of regional power systems in terms of the system-forming network of 110 kV and above.

The first SPD prepared by SO under this mechanism covered the period 2023-2028. It was developed under an interim procedure in the second half of 2022. Its public discussions were held in January of this year, after which the document was approved by order of the Ministry of Energy of Russia dated February 28, 2023 No. 108.

Starting with the UPS SPD for 2024-2029, the development of the document includes the following stages: before March 1 - the initial provision of initial data; until September 1 - development of the document; until October 1 - public discussion of the project; before December 1 - approval.
