- AO Regio elektrich seti (JSC Regional Electric Networks), operating under the brand identity Rosseti Novosibirsk and trading on the Moscow Exchange under the ticker MOEX:RAES, is a Russian electric utility company primarily engaged in the transmission, distribution, and dispatching of electrical energy across the Novosibirsk Region. Established as an independent legal entity in 2004 through the unbundling of Novosibirskenergo and tracing its operational heritage back to 1933, the company is headquartered in Novosibirsk, Russia. Operating within the power transmission and distribution utilities sector, the company owns, operates, and maintains the primary power grid infrastructure in the region, serving residential, commercial, municipal, and large industrial consumers.
The company operates through integrated business divisions covering electricity transit, technical connection, electrical equipment fabrication, and grid maintenance. Its core products and services include: transmission and distribution of electric power across high-, medium-, and low-voltage overhead lines and underground cable networks; technological grid connection and capacity expansion services for industrial facilities, residential housing complexes, commercial real estate, and public infrastructure; engineering, construction, modernization, and scheduled maintenance of transformer substations, distribution switchgear points, and power lines; manufacturing and supply of electrical distribution equipment, packaged transformer substations, and metal support structures; deployment, operational monitoring, and certification of commercial electricity metering systems and automated intelligent smart meters; and technical diagnostics, electrical laboratory testing, fault management, and centralized dispatching services.
In recent developments, AO Regio elektrich seti has undergone major corporate and structural changes following the consolidation of its state-owned equity into PJSC Federal Grid Company - Rosseti (PJSC Rosseti), marking its integration into the nationwide federal power grid system and the formal adoption of the Rosseti Novosibirsk brand architecture. This strategic alignment has involved deep operational and corporate coordination with PJSC Rosseti Siberia to streamline power flows, improve grid reliability, and harmonize operational standards across the Siberian Federal District. Operationally, the company has scaled up multi-year capital investment programs focused on the digitalization of distribution grids, commissioning reconstructed automated digital substations, expanding smart metering infrastructure across metropolitan and rural areas, and increasing electrical grid capacity to support major industrial and urban development projects throughout the Novosibirsk Region.
