Annotation The problems inherent in the electric power industry, which should have been resolved as a result of the industry reform, are highlighted, but still remain relevant. In particular, the problem of attracting investments in the electric power industry was considered. The definition of the electric power industry is given. The reasons for the decrease in the economic efficiency of the energy sector functioning and the main performance indicators of the electric power industry are analyzed. It is noted that to date there are no effective tools for attracting investments in electric grids, and existing mechanisms are aimed at stimulating the development of only generating capacities. The specifics of implementing investment projects in the energy sector are given. The object of the study was the regional state unitary power company “Electric Grid Company for the Operation of Electrical Networks” Oblkom- munenergo “(OGUEP” Oblkommunenergo “) in the Irkutsk Region. The activity of the electric grid company is considered and one of the ways of attracting investments is proposed - the application of energy service contracts. The distinctive features of the energy service contract are revealed. It is concluded that the energy service contracts are designed to make investments in the electric power industry profitable, and their use is a promising area for electric grid companies. Priority directions of the power company activity are determined. Measures to optimize the development of electrical networks have been identified. Objects located in the Irkutsk region are presented, where it is necessary to install meters that help to save electricity. The main advantages of concluding an energy service contract for OGUEP “Oblkommunenergo”
