"Rosneftegaz" could take control of Moscow United Power Grid Company and "Lenenergo".

The heads of "Rosneft" and "Inter RAO" Igor Sechin and Boris Kovalchuk, offered Vladimir Putin to rescue "Lenenergo" from bankruptcy at the expense of 30 billion roubles from the means of the state "Rosneftegaz". According to the results of the transaction, he and structures close to the father of Boris Kovalchuk Juriy will be able to control one of the most important assets of "Rosseti" - Moscow United Power Grid Company (MUEGC), which, in turn, will consolidate 52% of "Lenenergo". In 2012 "Rosneftegaz" had tried to gain control over the majority of state-owned companies in the energy sector, but the government has not supported this idea. The president considered the new version at least worthy of consideration.
