The Russian electricity sector is one of the largest in the world with an installed capacity in 2015 of 243 GW and production of 1048 TWh of electricity within the centralized (on grid) area of energy supply. Furthermore, even though there is technical integration with the power systems of neighbouring CIS countries, the Russian system is mostly focused in the domestic market, with export volumes not exceeding 10-15 TWh. In addition to these CIS exports, supply is provided to Finland and the Baltic states (totalling near 7 GW in 2015), while in the East, electricity exports to China are increasing and reached 3.3 TWh in 2015. Overall, though, total exports account for less than 2 per cent of electricity generation in Russia.
