Subject. This article discusses historical evolution, current issues, and modernization prospects of Russia's integrated power grid. Objectives. The article aims to identify the relationship between infrastructure modernization and the reduction of electricity losses. Methods. For the study, I used a statistical analysis. Results. The article finds a direct correlation between the improvement of the technical condition of Russia's integrated power grid and economic effects, such as reduced electric power losses, increased network capacity, and lower operational costs. Conclusions. The high level of equipment wear, as well as the increase in accidents affect the country's economy directly, raising electricity costs for consumers and reducing Russia's attractiveness to foreign investors.
Keywords: electricity losses, equipment deterioration level, power grid capacity, PAO Rosseti
