RAO UES has manifested its increasing failure to keep up with demand[1] owing to decade-long practice of disinvestment.
UES is currently in the process of a massive de-jure privatization push with the goal of attaining about 79 billion USD in investment, mostly from private sources.[2]
And, since 2002 the company has been restructuring.
