Compared to the same period last year the total revenue of the Company showed a negative trend −2.8%, due to the restriction of grid tariff growth for the transmission of electricity within the execution of Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation # 1172 “On approval of rules for the wholesale e/energy and power market and amendments to some acts of the Government of the Russian Federation related to the organization of the wholesale market of electric energy and power” and # 1178 “On the pricing of regulated tariffs in the power sector”.

It should be noted that the productive supply of electric energy for 1H 2012 is 3.7% higher than the same period of 2011. The growth in the productive supply is due, first of all, to the increased consumption by large industrial consumers.
