The electric power sector in the post-Soviet area is strongly influenced by specific elements of HTI. Unlike the EU, North America, South America, Southeast Asia and other macroregions moving towards a common electric power market, the USSR already had a single system, which was founded on a highly centralized and highly efficient administration. As well as physical infrastructure, the CIS countries inherited a single set of technical standards from the USSR. Today, measures are being taken multilaterally to increase international energy supply and transmission in the CIS.
