Market Power of Russian Generating Companies Market Power of Russian Generating Companies Natalia Aizenberg*, Sergei Dziuba** *Energy Systems Institute SB RAS, Irkutsk, Russia **Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Irkutsk, Russia Far Eastern Federal University, Vladivostok, Russia XXI April International Academic Conference on Economic and Social Development 2020 Introduction n The Russian electricity market was completely liberalized in 2011 n 26 market entities - generating companies were formed (OGK and TGK) n The process of companies consolidation was begun in 2011 n The final form of the Russian electricity industry was determined in 2016 n There are 12 major concerns, including several generating companies in 2016 n The electricity market is an oligopoly, therefore, the market power of companies is possible Wholesale electricity and capacity market Electricity market Capacity market Competitive selection of Long-term contract market capacity (forward market ) Free Contract Regulated Contract Capacity supply contracts Free Contract Contracts forced mode Day ahead market Regulated Contract Competition Projects Balancing market Zones of wholesale market Location of generating companies The level of competition is determined by the number of generating companies OGK-3 Mergers of generating companies as of 2019 OGK-1 TGK-10 TGK-11 RusHydro RosAtom OGK-2 OGK-6 OGK-4 TGK-1 Uniper Mosenergo Irkutskenergo Krasnoyarsk HPP OGK-5 TGK-5 TGK-6 TGK-12 08.04.2020 suek-logo-ru.svg TGK-7 TGK-4 TGK-9 Novosibirskenergo Orenburg TGK TGK-13 file:///Users/Ayzya/Downloads/suek-logo-ru.svg 1/1 Market power in the electricity market n Green and Newbery, 1992; Green, 2014; Bushnel, 2007 - the more small generating companies, the more effective the oligopoly (it is standard for any market structures) n Farrell and Shapiro, 1990 – with the low demand elasticity (it is characteristic of the electricity market) the results of the merger of companies can be both negative and positive n Joskow, 1997; Joskow and Tirole, 2000 – disaggregation of generating companies in the UK electricity market initially gave a positive effect n Tashpulatov, 2015 – empirically proven that excessive unbundling of generating companies turned out to be counterproductive Some generating companies operate in two markets Generating companies with TPP capacities (80% Europe zone, 20% Siberia zone) operate in n Wholesale electricity market (includes electricity and capacity market) n Retail heat market The market power for multi-product oligopolies has features (theory of industry markets): Belleflamme, Peitz, 2015 - multi-product companies charge higher prices for their products in the markets than independent suppliers would do (product substitution effects and oligopoly power) Market Power Studies in Electricity Markets n Herfindahl – hirschman index (HHI), the concentration ratio.

Electricity prices are higher than it could be. § The manifestation of market power is typical for companies that provide about half of the total electricity generation in Russia (including hydro and nuclear). § The manifestation of market power is not determined by the size of the company. § Least of all the market power is manifested in the electricity market, but in the segment of capacity and heat markets the companies “make up” for lost revenue. § The ability to manipulate price allows companies to use inefficient technologies.

    An Overview of Boards of Directors at Russia’s Largest Public Companies Andrei Rakitin Milena Barsukova Arina Mazunova Translated from Russian August 2020 Key Results According to information disclosed by 109 of Russia’s largest public companies: • “Classic” board compositions of 11, nine, and seven seats prevail • The total number of persons on Boards of the companies under study is not as low as it might seem: 89% of all Directors were elected to only one such Board • Female Directors account for 12% and are more often elected to the audit, nomination, and remuneration committees than to the strategy committee • Among Directors, there are more “humanitarians” than “techies”, while the share of “techies” among chairs is greater than across the whole sample • The average age for Directors is 53, 56 for Chairmen, and 58 for Independent Directors • Generation X is the most visible on Boards, and Generation Y Directors will likely quickly increase their presence if the development of digital technologies continues • The share of Independent Directors barely reaches 30%, and there is an obvious lack of independence on key committees such as audit • Senior Independent Directors were elected at 17% of the companies, while 89% of Chairs are not independent • The average total remuneration paid to the Board of Directors is RUR 69 million, with the difference between the maximum and minimum being 18 times • Twenty-four percent of companies disclosed information on individual payments made to their Directors. According to this, the average total remuneration is approximately RUR 9 million per annum for a Director, RUR 17 million for a Chair, and RUR 11 million for an Independent Director The comparison of 2020 findings with results of a similar study published in 2012 paints an interesting dynamic picture.

    Market power issues in the reformed Russian electricity supply industry EPRG Working Paper 1333 Cambridge Working Paper in Economics 1358 Nadia Chernenko Abstract The paper examines long-run and short-run levels of market power in the liberalised Russian electricity market. We observe that despite potential for market power abuse, actual exercise of market power as measured by price-cost markups remained low. We attribute the result to the bid-at-cost rule implemented as a part of a special unit commitment procedure on the day-ahead market. We first look at the restructured industry and discuss the mergers and acquisitions and their impact on competition in long term. The M&A were undertaken in different market zones and thus did not seem to increase concentration (HHI remains almost unchanged) although with future zone integration competition in long run is put at risk. We then examine short-run level of market power by estimating hourly price-cost mark-ups and assessing their dynamics in 2010 and 2011, a year preceeding and following the G PAPER market liberalisation respectively. Using time series models (AR models) N we reject hypothesis of actual market power abuse. Further, using a Tobit regression we find that the liberalisation decreased the mark-ups by about 1.66 percetage points. .Keywords Russian electricity market, liberalisation, market power, concentration, price-cost mark-ups JEL Classification L11, L13, L94 Contact [email protected] Publication June 2013 EPRG WORKI Financial Support Trinity College Eastern European Research Bursary www.eprg.group.cam.ac.uk EPRG 1333 Market power issues in the reformed Russian electricity supply industry Nadia Chernenko October 2013 Abstract.

    KYMENLAAKSON AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU University of Applied Sciences Energy Engineering Double Degree / Specialization Iuliia Gerlitc Rinat Biktuganov A REVIEW TO WIND ENERGY UTILIZATION IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA Bachelor’s Thesis 2013 ABSTRACT KYMENLAAKSON AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU University of Applied Sciences Energy Engineering Gerlitc Iuliia Biktuganov Rinat A Review to Wind Energy Utilization in North-West Russia Bachelor’s Thesis 79 pages + 1 page of appendices Supervisor Mäkelä Merja, Principal Lecturer Commissioned by Empower Oy November 2013 Keywords Wind turbines, electrical grid, and grid connection The problem of using renewable energy sources is studied in this thesis work. The at- tention is concentrated on the feasibilities of using the wind energy in the North-West Russia and on some problems which can appear. Some of them are the place of a pos- sible wind farm, laws of new sources connection, and the protection of the electrical grid. The aim of the work was to realize the possibility of inserting new energy resources into the Russian electrical grid and the importance of using renewables. An answer was sought to the question why the country network had no changes for a long time and what factors are preventing the changes. The study was carried out with the help of technical encyclopedias and energy com- panies official websites. Some information was retrieved through the conversation with specialists from the largest Russian energy companies. The idea of inserting new energy resources in the Russian economy looks very prom- ising. Naturally, some investments and time are needed. In the next few years the problem of renewables will become very actual and then this work will be very useful.
