The paper contains the objectives, tasks, and directions for the reform of the electrical energy industry in the Russian Federation as well as the negative aspects of the reform. The authors underline the relevance of the development of the methodological, economic-mathematical and information tools for assessment and an increase in the efficiency of the energy organisations selling electrical energy. They suggest using the statistical and rank analysis for the assessment of the performance indicators of the last resort energy suppliers, including the profit margin.
