Moscow, 2 September 2005. At its meeting held today, the Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" approved a Supplementary Agreement to the Agreement on Interaction in the Course of Restructuring the Electricity Sector of the City of Moscow, entered into by RAO "UES of Russia", OAO "Mosenergo", the Moscow City Government and the Regional Energy Commission of the City of Moscow on 7 October 2003. The Supplementary Agreement was signed by the Chairman of the Management Board of RAO "UES of Russia" Anatoly Chubais and the Moscow Mayor Yury Luzhkov.

The Supplementary Agreement states that, in connection with the restructuring of OAO "Mosenergo" and state registration of OAO "Moscow Heat Distribution Company" and OAO "Moscow City Electricity Distribution Company", the obligations of OAO "Mosenergo" have been discharged, and the further performance of the Agreement will pass to these companies.

Also, under the Supplementary Agreement, RAO "UES of Russia" and the Moscow City Government will establish, on a parity basis, a joint management company, OAO "Moscow Management Energy Grid Company" and transfer to it the powers of the One-man Executive Bodies (CEO) of OAO "Moscow Heat Distribution Company" and OAO "Moscow City Electricity Distribution Company" spun off from OAO "Mosenergo", and OAO "Moscow United Energy Company".

The Supplementary Agreement envisages broader possibilities for increasing the stake held by the Moscow City Government in OAO "Moscow Heat Distribution Company" and OAO "Moscow City Electricity Distribution Company", including through the following measures:

- the electricity and district heating grids and other power facilities owned by the city of Moscow and/or business companies wholly owned by the Moscow municipal authorities;

- funds contributed by the city of Moscow or business companies wholly owned by the municipal authorities;

- shares in the companies established in the course of reorganization of OAO "Mosenergo" owned by the Moscow city, or the business companies wholly owned by the Moscow municipal authorities;

- shares in business companies wholly owned by the Moscow municipal authorities, or shares held by the business companies wholly owned by the Moscow municipal authorities whose principal business is heat generation and transmission of heat and electricity;

- the above property and assets in various combinations.

As the electricity and heating grid companies are natural monopolies, the Supplementary Agreement states that it would be advisable to pool the assets of these companies with the assets and electricity facilities owned by the city of Moscow or the companies wholly owned by the Moscow municipal authorities.

 The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" approved the restructuring plan for the Far Eastern energy systems and the list of measures needed to implement the plan.

The reform of the energy sector in the Far East of Russia seeks to increase reliability of the energy system, to create a system of control over the energy sector in the Far East after the separation of RAO "UES of Russia", and to raise capitalization and investment attractiveness of the region's energy companies. The reform is also intended to optimize the energy balance in the Far East and reduce the energy generation costs.

Pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" of 25 June 2004, the energy systems of the Far East energy systems may be reorganized using scenarios different from the "basic" restructuring plan. This is due to the peculiarities of the region's energy sector, which make it impossible to create competition in the generation segment in the period of five years. In order to create prerequisites for the introduction of competition and ensure a transparent pricing mechanism in the region's energy sector, it is planned to functionally unbundle the existing energy systems.

These prerequisites, as well as the reorganization of RAO "UES of Russia" scheduled for 2007, necessitate the establishment of a company that has sufficient financial and organizational resources to ensure the management of the entire energy system in the Far East and is capable of addressing the problems of cross-subsidization, maintaining reliability, and implementing repair and investment programmes throughout the region.

The restructuring plan for the energy systems in the Far East as approved by the Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" includes a number of concurrent corporate actions.

Specifically, it is intended to establish a subsidiary of OAO "Yakutskenergo", OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo", on the basis of the Southern energy area of OAO "Yakutskenergo".

It is also planned to create a single Holding Company, OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company", through merger of OAO "Khabarovskenergo", ZAO "LuTEK", OAO "Amurenergo", OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo" (to be established on the basis of assets of the Southern energy area of OAO "Yakutskenergo", and OAO "Dalenergo".*

Simultaneously, OAO "Far Eastern Generation Company" and OAO "Far Eastern Distribution Company" will be set up. Each of them will be founded as a wholly-owned subsidiary by one of the regional energos participating the project. The authorized capital of the new companies will be RUB5 million and will be divided into 500 million ordinary shares of RUB0.01 par value. Payment for the shares in OAO "Far Eastern Generation Company" and OAO "Far Eastern Distribution Company" will be made in cash within one month after the state registration of the companies.

At a later time, the authorized capitals of OAO "Far Eastern Generation Company" and OAO "Far Eastern Distribution Company" will be increased through issuance of additional shares. Payment for such shares will be made in form of generation and heating grid assets, and the distribution grid assets of OAO "Dalenergo", OAO "Khabarovskenergo", OAO "Amurenergo", ZAO "LuTEK", and OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo". Thus, upon completion of the energy sector reform in the Far East, OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company" will be the only shareholder in these companies.

The plan also provides for the separation of facilities of the Unified National Electricity Grid (UNEG) currently owned by the energy companies being reorganized through establishment of wholly-owned subsidiaries of said companies (OAO "Primorskaya Trunk Grid Company", OAO "Khabarovsk Trunk Grid Company", OAO "Amurskaya Trunk Grid Company", and OAO "Yakutskaya Trunk Grid Company"), with the UPEG facilities to be contributed to their capital and subsequent merger of the newly-established companies with and into OAO "Center ITC".

Under the approved Plan, OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company" will retain the electricity retailing functions. Until the cross-subsidization problems are resolved in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), OAO "Yakutskenergo" will handle electricity retailing in the Southern energy area of the Republic.

In view of the peculiarities of the Far Eastern energy systems, a Holding Company owning stakes in OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company" will be spun off from RAO "UES of Russia" in the course of the latter's reorganization for the purpose of preserving state control over these energy systems.

The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" instructed the Management Board to submit for consideration by the Board of Directors the following:

- not later than November 2005, the matters relating to approval of the restructuring plan for OAO "Yakutskenergo", which provides, inter alia, for the spin-off of a company owning shares in OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo" and its subsequent merger with and into OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company";

- not later than March 2006, the proposals relating to the completion of creation of OAO "Far Eastern Energy Company" through merger of OAO "Dalenergo", OAO "Khabarovskenergo", ZAO "LuTEK", OAO "Amurenergo", and OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo", and measures to increase the authorized capital of OAO "Far Eastern Generation Company" and OAO "Far Eastern Distribution Company" [through issuance of additional shares]. Payment for the additional shares will be made in the property of OAO "Dalenergo", OAO "Khabarovskenergo", OAO "Amurenergo", ZAO "LuTEK", and OAO "Yuzhnoe Yakutskenergo".

The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" also commissioned the Management Board, to develop and ensure implementation in 2005-2010 of a number of measures designed to eliminate the power grid limitations in the Eastern IES. This will create the prerequisites for creating a competitive environment in electricity generation. The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" also instructed the Management Board to conduct a thorough analysis of the retail market model in the Far East and the conditions for the activities of Guaranteeing Suppliers.

The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" considered the question of disposal of OAO "Taymyrenergo"* shares and deemed it advisable to sell 100% of its shares in an open auction. The Board of Directors also noted the information on the possible starting auction price.

The Board instructed the Management Board of the Company to submit for consideration by the Board of Directors, within two months, proposals on the measures and timeframes for their implementation to prepare and carry out the sale, including the appraisal [of the shares], and proposals on the allocation of the proceeds.

To date, RAO "UES of Russia" and OAO "Norilsk Nickel Mining and Metallurgical Company" jointly founded OAO "Norilsk-Taimyr Energy Company" (OAO "NTEC"), which will lease the assets of OAO "Taymyrenergo", as provided by the resolution of the Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" of 25 March 2005.

* OAO "Taymyrenergo" is a wholly-owned subsidiary of RAO "UES of Russia". Pursuant to the resolution of the Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" of 25 June 2004, OAO "Taymyrenergo" is classified as an energy system with limited competition. Such energy systems may be reorganized using scenarios different from the "basic" restructuring plan. This is due to the peculiarities of the Norilsk isolated energy area: the local energy system does not have any links to the country's power grid; another factor is that OAO "Norilsk Nickel MMC" consumes 97% of the electricity generated by OAO "Taymyrenergo". Besides, OAO "Norilsk Nickel MMC" has its own generation and power grid facilities.

The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" approved the purchase by the Company of 14,545 ordinary shares, par value of USD1,000, in OAO "Sangtuda HPP-1", through open subscription. The payment for the shares will be made in cash, in the amount of USD14,545,000.

The shares to be purchased by RAO "UES of Russia" are being issued as a measure to increase the authorized capital of OAO "Sangtuda HPP-1" in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and the Government of the Russian Federation on the procedure for and conditions of shared participation in the construction of the power plant dated 16 October 2004 and the Order of the Federal Tax Service of 17 December 2004.

The increase in the authorized capital of OAO "Sangtuda HPP-1" is designed to attract funds from the federal budget of Russia, RAO "UES of Russia", and OAO "UES FGC" to finance the construction of the power plant in 2005-2006. In addition, the purpose of the share issue is the purchase of the property complex of the Sangtuda HPP-1 under construction, which is owned by Tajikistan.

The additional shares will be issued to the Russian Federation represented by the authorized public authority, RAO "UES of Russia", OAO "UES FGC", and the Ministry of Energy of Tajikistan.

As a result of the share issue, the stake of RAO "UES of Russia" in the power plant will be no less than 5.5 per cent, the stake held by the Russian Federation 37 per cent, and the stake of OAO "UES FGC" no less than 32 per cent. The stake of ZAO "INTER RAO UES" will fall by 74 per cent to less than 1 per cent. Thus, the stake controlled by the Russian participants will be at least 75 per cent.

The above stakes have been calculated on the basis of anticipated amount of financing provided for the construction of the Sangtuda HPP-1 by the parties to the project. Thus, in 2005, the Russian participants plan to provide USD100 million in funds, of which RUB400 million will be contributed by RAO "UES of Russia" and RUB1 billion by OAO "UES FGC". The direct contribution by the Russian Federation into the project will reach USD40 million, plus USD10 million by offsetting part of Tajikistan's sovereign debt [owed to Russia]. In 2006, the Russian party plans to allocate USD$181 million in funds to finance the project to complete the construction of the power plant.

The Board of Directors of OAO RAO "UES of Russia" considered the question of trust management of shares in the energy retail companies (ERCs) established as a result of regional energos' restructuring.*

The Board of Directors approved the conclusions of contracts between RAO "UES of Russia" and OAO "TGC-6" for trust management of the ordinary shares in OAO "Vladimir Energy Retail Company", OAO "Nizhny Novgorod Retail Company", OAO "Mordovia Energy Retail Company", OAO "Penza Energy Retail Company", and OAO "Ivanovo Energy Retail Company" as interested party transactions.

The Board of Directors has also approved the conclusion by OAO RAO "UES of Russia" and OAO "Mosenergo" of contracts for trust management of shares in OAO "Mosenergosbyt" as an interested party transaction.

The transfer of shares in the energy retail companies for trust management to the Territorial Generation Companies (TGCs) is due to the need to ensure financial stability of the energy retail companies and increasing their efficiency during the transition period.

The trustees, OAO "TGC-6" and OAO "Mosenergo", will receive the entire scope of powers to manage the shares in the energy retail companies owned by RAO "UES of Russia" in accordance with the contracts being concluded.

The Board of Directors resolved that, pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Law on Joint-Stock Companies, said resolution will enter into force after the Federal Agency for Federal Property Management approves the amount of remuneration for the Trustee.

Earlier, at the meeting held 1 July 2005, the Board of Directors approved the principal provisions of the contract of trust management. According to said resolution, the amount of the Trustee's remuneration is 100% of the dividends actually payable on all shares in the energy retail companies put into the trust management.

At today's meeting, the Board of Directors noted the procedure for the calculation of the Trustee's remuneration based on the number calendar days the Trustee manages the shares in the energy retail companies.

The Board of Directors of RAO "UES of Russia" determined the Company's stance on the items of business of Shareholder meetings and Board meetings of the subsidiaries and dependent companies of RAO "UES of Russia".

Thus, the Board of Directors instructed representatives of RAO "UES of Russia" on the Boards of Directors of OAO "TGC-14", OAO "TGC-4", and OAO "Kubanenergo" to vote FOR putting proposals to terminate the powers of the current Boards of Directors and to election of new members of the Boards of Directors of the companies on the agenda of extraordinary general meetings of shareholders.

This is due, among other things, to the resignation of Alexander Negomedzyanov as Deputy Managing Director and Executive Director of Business Unit 1 at RAO "UES of Russia", who simultaneously was a member of the Board of Directors of OAO "TGC-14", OAO "TGC-4" and OAO "Kubanenergo".

Such decision takes into account the positive experience gained by RAO "UES of Russia" in transferring the functions of the One-man Executive Body (CEO) [to management companies] in other lines of business. It will help to ensure efficient and balanced management of the distribution company of OAO "Arkhenergo".

The Board of Directors approved the combination of positions on the management bodies of other organizations* by some members of the Management Board of RAO "UES of Russia".
