Domestic Market of Energy Resources: Current State and Future Prospects
The new government with Vladimir Putin at the helm has proved unprepared for the liquidation of RAO UES of Russia. It turns out, as the assets of the holding company have been distributed, that there is no scheme for regulating the industry. Furthermore, the very concept of the operation of the power industry is currently a heap of controversies resulting from years of bureaucratic procedures and unceasing political compromises.
The government has found itself pressed for time on the threshold of the upcoming heating season and the need for building a new regulatory system virtually from scratch and on the fly. All this coincides with rapid growth in gas prices and the liberalisation of the electric power market. The probability of deficit of these resources in the national economy in the near future adds to that.
The Report offers an in-depth discussion of the following subjects
-
Power industry without RAO UES
- Interim industry reform outcomes
- Sale of generation and its beneficiaries
- System faults and the outcomes of the redistribution of assets
-
New system of government regulation in the industry
- Those in charge of the power industry
- The role of the Energy Ministry
-
System of pricing for gas and electricity
- Exchange trade
- Long-term contracts
- Gas supply and demand issues
- Fuel market and difficulties providing power plants with energy resources
- Programme for positioning power industry facilities
-
Gazprom strategy in the power industry
- Integration of assets having been acquired and failure of the SUEK takeover deal
-
A medium-term forecast of developments

Liquefied Natural Gas Outlook: Expectations and Reality
World market has shown interest to liquefied gas. Russia has so far been aside of it. However, producers have announced several large LNG projects. The new study will help investigate this delicate subject and understand what is in store for LNG production and export in the nearest years.Analytical series “The Fuel and Energy Complex of Russia”:
State regulation in the oil and gas sector in 2011 and prospects for 2012
The year 2011 turned out to be rather contradictory for the oil and gas industry. On one side, preliminary results of basic parameters seem quite satisfactory. On the other side, the depletion of oil production growth potential is becoming more obvious. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin several times mentioned that the oil industry reached its peak. This was described as an ordinary event, although in reality it reflects recognition of strategic mistakes once made.The Present and Future of Gazprom
Gazprom’s 2010-2011 financial results were phenomenal. An employment contract of Gazprom CEO Alexey Miller, who has been managing the gas giant for 10 years, was prolonged ahead of time for another five years. However, the country’s main company found itself under powerful pressure both on the domestic and external markets.State management in the oil and gas sector: Last autumn of current political cycle
The main political intrigue of the upcoming election cycle would seem to be over. Vladimir Putin is set to return to the president’s office, while Dmitry Medvedev is to chair the Cabinet. But in reality, everything is just about to begin. Some scenarios of reformatting Russian state authorities are indeed ruled out. Yet, there are many unclear things, including the question of the oil and gas sector management. Changes in the system are unavoidable. There is temptation to fix the rules of the game for the next six years, which adds a special connotation to the upcoming transformation.Central Asia and Caspian Region: Problems of Development and Transportation of Hydrocarbons
Despite problems related to signing contracts on purchasing gas from the Caspian region countries, the European Commission is fully determined to implement Southern Corridor projects to reduce dependence on Russia. In its turn, Moscow keeps steadily promoting its alternative South Stream project. But the price of the question puts both sides into a difficult position.Export Strategy of Russia’s Oil and Gas Sector
In 2010 the Russian oil industry set an absolute record in terms of production. An oil pipeline to China has been launched this year expanding our potential of oil supplies to Asia. Diversification of export routes seemed to be quite a reasonable strategy on the background of growing production. However, there are certain factors that should be taken into account.
